Dorothy Pulis Lathrop Illustrations
/Dorothy P. Lathrop was a prolific illustrator (and sometimes writer) of children’s books from 1919 to 1967. Some of the books she illustrated very early in her career are available online now that they are old enough to be out of copyright and I am featuring 4 of them in this week’s eBook post with some sample images from each one.
Down-Adown-Derry: A Book of Fairy Poems by Walter De La Mare (1922) I picked sample images because I liked the botanicals – dandelion puffs and Indian pipes.
A Little Lost Boy by William Henry Hudson (1920) Do you recognize the birds? Flamingos, roseate spoonbills, (maybe) osprey.
Grim: the story of a pike by Svend Fleuron (1921) More birds: heron and terns and osprey!
It will be a treat when more of her work becomes available…with the passage of time/copyright.
