THE ILLUSTRATIONS OF EDWARD McKNIGHT KAUFFER HD 

Hello and I'm glad to have done so.

...and the same when I get one of your favourable responses.

Hear,hear

Thanks again for your comment and appreciation of the video.

Well said ❤

Hello again and it's always a particular pleasure to know I'm bringing the work of figures like this to viewers for the first time.

Thanks for your comment, and I must say I share your opinion about the art/illustration debate. Much as I love painting from the Renaissance onward a time came in the later 20th century when many fine artists ceased to have any interest in actually communicating with the viewer and it seems to me that illustration has filled that void for many of us.

Maybe not, but its great that you keep doing so. My eternal gratitude.

❤ I agree wholeheartedly that we are blessed by the way that Pete is constantly introducing us to the artistry of so many people. ❤

Best wishes to Montana, from the wirral peninsula,bounded by the mersey and the Dee and the Irish sea...geography and rhyme...E..

Hello and thanks a lot (again) for your appreciation.

Hi and I'm pleased you enjoyed this video and Kauffer's work. Thanks for the comment.

Hi and thanks for your appreciation.

Hello and your kind remarks about the channel and my contribution to it really do convince me I'm doing something right. It's a genuine source of pleasure to me to realise there are quite a few others out there who share my fascination with this subject.

Hello amd thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation.

Hello and my gratitude for your praise for my work on the channel. It's a great motivator.

Me too...E...

Thanks as ever for your appreciation.

Hello and many thanks for your comment. It's greatly appreciated.

Ciao di nuovo e grazie per l'apprezzamento.

Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciation of his work.

Also those railway posters are eye-poppingly beautiful. I hadn’t seen those before, so thank you.

Many thanks for your continued appreciation for the channel. It's a genuine pleasure to know the work is valued.

Hello Gabriel, and you flatter me (ans I love it) with your praise for the channel and my contribution. How I wish I was by the sea in Spain...

@@petebeard .....at the sea? But in summer, not now!!

Hello and thanks a lot. Don't overdo it though...

Hello and your appreciation is very welcome. I'm not a betting man but if I was I would bet the contents of my piggy bank that the version of Moby Dick you mention was by Rockwell Kent. His work features in my video unsung heroes of illustration 10, including some samples from that very book.

Hello and thanks a lot for your appreciation. I've covered a few female illustrators in this series (and more to come) and there are also a sizeable mirority in the unsung heroes series. But there weren't many who got involved with the more graphic-y work.

It's my pleasure.

Thanks as usual, and I must say I wish I had thought to use the word 'audacity' in connection with his work. Absolutely spot-on.

You're welcome, sir.

Hello again and many thaks for your appreciation and comment. I had not heard that quote from Mr. Rand but I'm glad it lends serious weight to the idea that Cassandre influenced Kauffer's later work.

Hello and thanks for your comment. And in answer to your query - no that wasn't me but I must see if I could find such a thing online. I'd be interested to know what was said.

Hi and you are very welcome.

Hello again and thanks for the comment.

Thanks a lot for your comment and appreciaton. I'm pleased to have introduced you to his work.

Thanks for the comment. I must admit I wouldn't know Mr. Van Vechten if he bit me - I'm not that much of a reader.

Like the Langston Hughes cover...

Здравствуйте и большое спасибо за высокую оценку канала. И я надеюсь, вы будете рады узнать, что Юрий Васнецов появится в моей серии «Невоспетые герои» где-то в следующем году. Я уже представил в этой серии некоторых других российских иллюстраторов, и в следующем году их будет больше.

@@petebeard Thanks, will look forward to watching.

And enjoying)

Hola y muchas gracias por mirar.

Hi again. Do you mean the Percy Bradshaw book? I must say I've never seen a copy as such. It's quite likely he would have been 'adopted' as an honorary Brit - after all we did it with Dulac, and we don't even like the French.

You are correct!!!

You're welcome, as ever.

You're more than welcome.

Your comment is much appreciated - thanks.

Thans for the comment. Glad you liked his work.

Hello and thanks a lot for the comment. And I hate to appear unobliging but to do such a thing would take an immense amount of time (not to mention being a bit tedious for many viewers) and my own knowledge of some of the techical processes involved is far from comprehensive. My best suggestion is to do what I did in cases where I was unsure - just google it. Whether its an arty reference such as 'futurist' or more technical as in 'pochoir' you will always get an answer and in almost all cases there will be an instructional video on youtube showing how its done.

Thanks a lot for your comment.

Hello and thanks for the comment. He was born in Montana, which I understand is some distance from your home town. Whether he travelled to the destinations he painted or used photographs I couldn't say.

Hi again and thanks for the comment.

Hello again, and I presume you saw the Earl of Birkenhead's book. I don't know why that title makes me smirk but it does...

​@@petebeardwe have that effect on people...just look at Paul O,Grady aka Lily Savage, fellow Birkonian Declan McManus aka Elvis Costello certainly made his mark...😅😅😅

I'm glad to have made the introduction.

Hello again and Robert Lawson featured in unsung heroes 22. I thought Leaf was a writer, though. And to see who I've covered in that series there's a complete list at the end of unsung100 you can save as screenshots. I only discovered the remarkable work of Charlie Harper recently and he will be appearing in my wildlife illustration video when I finally finish it.

@@petebeard Leaf was known as a writer, but he did illustrate some of his own books.

Thanks a lot for the appreciation.

Thanks again.

Hi and thanks a lot.

Thanks once more for the 5 star rating.
