More details

The quaint, detailed illustration of this book cover sets the scene for life in an English village. The hand-drawn illustration and bright, pretty colours presents a friendly, welcoming cover to this book. The use of hand illustration as a technique has allowed the artists to control the composition and include all the elements of English architecture the designer needs. With another method, like photography, this may nothave been possible.
