Derek Collard – Illustrations for British Fairy Tales

I don’t usually post illustrations from books published later than the 1930s. Since I primarily dedicate my work to the early Golden Age illustrators. But at times, I stumbled upon some works that are too compelling to ignore, with amazing illustrations that I have to post. Such is the work of Derek Collard for the “British Fairy Tales” book.

His creative mix of Celtic borders decorations and modern design techniques produce an unique and wonderful visual effect. A pure delight.
