A look at illustrations - Arthur Bennett Frost and Uncle Remus 1921
Unsung heroes and heroines - those who illustrate. See the contrast between a Disney cartoon two-dimensional set of characters, and simple, black and white sketches. There is a dignity to these characters presented this way - they are not caricatures, but representations of a universal human condition, in human predicaments.
