Larry MacDougall said...: Fabulous !
Once again you've given us some spectacular illustration. But not only is the art itself beautiful but the scans are terrific - large, crisp and clean.
I think I'll go back up to the top and look at these again.

Thanks.; 3:53 PM

Garth Jones said...: You have found some excellent examples of his work. I have been trying to capture information about him for the eponymous Wikipedia article. Have you any verifiable information you can share?; 12:57 PM

Anne said...: Hi there kelbel2173. As a relative of Alfred Garth, can I ask you what your interest in him is. Are you a relative too. I would love to find out more about him.

Mr. Door Tree said...: Except for the readily available information on Garth Jones I know nothing else! I have been collecting magazines with his art since I first discovered him when I was a teen! In over 40 years I've gathered together a good batch of his printed works! Somewhere down the line I'll post another group of his illustrations!; 1:17 PM
