"The Best After-Dinner Stories", Selected and Introduced By Tim Heald, Illustrated By Paul Cox (published by The Folio Society Ltd, London 2003) Part 3

The remarkable work of British illustrator Paul Cox (born London 1957). I've been a fan of his work since my student days in the early nineties. I love the retro feel he achieves, which brings to mind magazine and book illustrations from the first half of the 20th century. It's got a lovely rhythm and movement while descriptive and humorous. I find the economy with which he creates his characters and background amazing - the postures and expressions on the faces with just a few brush strokes! Here is his official website again with biography and many more colour examples of his work: http://www.paulcoxartist.com/Biography.html

"What Are The Seven Wonders Of The World?" Peter D' Epiro & Mary Desmond Pinkowish, Illustrations by Richard Beards (The Folio Society, London 2005), Part 3

The highly idiosyncratic and intriguing work of British illustrator Richard Beards. Not much information about the artist on the web but there are dozens of examples of his work on his website: http://www.richardbeards.com/engine/foliosite.html  He has illustrated some more titles for The Folio Society books but he worked in France for many years so his work is not very easy to find.
