Edward Ardizzone RA (1900-79) was one of relatively few British artists who defined the field of illustration for their generation.

'Alan Powers has a keen sense of his subject's achievement, and is seriously knowledgeable on the history, practice, and art of illustration. I think Ardizzone would have approved.' Sir Quentin Blake
