FOOTNOTES<br />
E.J. Sullivan (1869-1933) "established himself as one of the foremost illustrators of his time... he was a superb figure draughtsman... and had a strong and inventive imagination" (Simon Houfe, The Dictionary of 19th Century British Book Illustrators and Caricaturists).<br />
<br />
The original drawings were used for the 1901 edition of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. The etchings include three-quarter length portraits of George Bernard Shaw, and John Galsworthy, scenes from Don Quixote, figure studies (cook, a cello player, one-man band, an after-dinner speaker "the determined frothblower"), views in Normandy, and others.](https://photos.smugmug.com/BookArt/Edmund-J-Sullivan/Pilgrims-Progress/i-2swHNRC/0/d9786ee8/Ti/6-Ti.jpg)
