For A Little Child Like Me KNOWLES, Horace J.; STIRLING, John This collaboration with the author John Stirling furnishes an ‘Alphabet Of The Life Of Jesus’ and life stories of twelve saints with detailed and distin- guished line drawings. Attractively produced, bound in quarter white cloth and printed in black and red, the book takes the child through the life of Jesus from the appearance of the Angel, to the promise of Zion. The drawings to illustrate twelve lives of saints, one for each month of the year, are particularly noteworthy and almost Beardsley-esque. Indeed, Knowles had the original drawings of Saint Monacella and Saint Francis framed to hang in his home. 51. Archive Of Original Artwork Ivor Nicholson and Watson, 1934. Fifty-six (of fifty-nine) original drawings used in John Stirling’s book. Mainly 30cm x 24cm. Some wonderfully at- mospheric images, including a nativity scene.
