I wanted to find out more about it but can't find the exact portrait on the web anywhere. It's an interesting artifact and I'd like to know more about it if you have any information. I can take a photo of it and email it to you if you'd like to see it.<br /><br />Thank you,<br />BridgetBridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03159359990674350031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12189014.post-36447568209274273192008-11-09T22:16:00.000-05:002008-11-09T22:16:00.000-05:00My first intro to Szyk's brilliant illustrations w...My first intro to Szyk's brilliant illustrations was in Andersen's Fairy Tales more than 65 years ago. I still have two copies of the book and I thank you so much for posting these pictures, I will enjoy showing by great-grandson Colin more of his work.

Certainly not until the fifties. I believe that until then it was fashionable to follow Western trends;. Pre-WWII Poland had a strong European feel to it (to what extent, however, I do not know). Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>The scans are great, would be even better if they opened up to larger versions...please?
