'The Chronicles of Narnia' by C.S Lewis - Illustrations by Pauline Baynes
Pauline Baynes (Wikipedia)
As I mentioned last week, I’d forgotten to include a selection of Pauline Baynes’ delightful illustrations from the six books after ‘The Magician’s Nephew’.
An illustrator, author and commercial artist, Pauline Baynes lived from 1922 to 2008.
She was the first to illustrate JRR Tolkien’s minor works, including ‘The Hobbit’, and the slipcase for the hardback editions of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ published by Allen & Unwin in the mid-1960s.
This post is dedicated entirely to her art from the ‘Chronicles’; the images are photos I took from my copies of the books.
