I’m a Massive Shepard fan. Although he’s best remembered for his animal and toy characters from Wind in the Willows and the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, Shepard had a gift for bringing historical and literary personages to life. My favourites in this line are the ‘Everybody’s…’ series (Everybody’s Boswell, Everybody’s Pepys, Everybody’s Lamb) that he illustrated for Bell. Shepard’s Dr Johnson is Dr Johnson. End of story! beatonna: This illustration of Toad of Toad Hall is perfect, as are all of E.H. Shepard’s drawings for The Wind In The Willows. Shepard will always be a favorite. -- source link
