Thankyou Pete, your series have helped me develop a much deeper appreciation for illustration and it's modern history. It can't be understated how much illustration has subconsciously shaped how we see history itself.

Hello to you and many thanks for your appreciation of the work. It always amazes me how much focus is given to 'proper' art as a sign of historical change, and illustration barely gets a look in.

@@petebeard "Proper art" hangs in museums and the parlors of the rich and well to do. Illustration lets us see the visual and cultural landscape of the everyday person and can give a look into how they thought and saw the world. Cultural conflicts can be seen playing out on the covers of Colliers magazine.

Wow, amazing! I love French humour and these illustrators certainly deserve admiration. I look forward to watch part 2 … tomorrow.

Hi there and thanks to you for watching and liking. Even though it made a series of three there were loads of great French illustrators I left out and more I've only just found out about. They're all in the pipeline now and I hope eventually to feature them all.

Another wonderful video. I was familiar with the big names here, but most were new to me. As a musician, I especially appreciated the very appropriate selection of background music. The piece accompanying the "early illustration" chapter, _Browning_ or _The Leaves Be Green_ by William Byrd is very familiar to me, it being a favorite of many gamba consorts that I played in. Thanks again. Cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott

Thanks as usual, and because of the constraints of copyright I struggled then and cntinue to do so now to find even remotely usable music. So it's particularly rewarding when a viewer comments on it favourably. I'm a bit embarrassed now, though - I should have used exclusively French tunes.

Hi Dennis Thanks for the positive response. I was an illustrator for over 40 years but officially I'm retired now. I do still take occasional commissions but not often. If you search 'pete beard portfolio' it's on youtube as a showreel of sorts and I'm still represented (in theory at least) by the illustrators agency. Google will take you there. Pete
