Eileen Mayo Larger Animals. One of a series of books she illustrated for Pleiades Books before she emigrated to Australia. She was an astonishing artist producing drawings, woodcuts, lithographs on stone and worked in tempera, tapestry and silk screening. In addition to being a printmaker, illustrator, calligrapher and muralist, she designed coins, stamps, tapestry and posters, and wrote and illustrated eight books. Her prints command high prices yet her lithographed books, not always easy to find, especially in dustjackets, can be bought for a few pounds. #eileenmayo #largeranimals #lithographs #pleiadesbooks #naturalworld #graphicdesign
