We are so used to photos and computer generated images that we fail to appreciate what a hand drawn image could bring to written material. Truly, "A picture is worth a thousand words" especially to those who had limited reading experience.

Afraid his a lost art. As you said, computers have pretty much taken over illustrations.

Thanks Maj Marty Hogan for letting us know that March 5 is the anniversary of the birth of American illustrator and author Howard Pyle who primarily wrote books for young people.
I well remember The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle (1883) which my dad read to me at first before I could read on my own.
He was a wonderful illustrator he was a truly gifted artist and able to bring stories to life to children through this illustrations.
