Picture This: Children's Illustrated Classics

Picture This: Children's Illustrated Classics on until 26 January, The British Library

 This exhibition of 20th century illustrators includes original artwork & rare editions of characters that have become embedded in our collective psyche: including Peter Pan, The Hobbit & Willy Wonka. These beautiful photographic illustrations/dioramas (above) are by Paul Henning - a new discovery for me. They embody a very period  depiction of an anthropomorphised natural world.
