An original pencil sketch for the 1990 publication of "R-T, Margaret, and the Rats of NIMH" by Jane Leslie Conly with illustrations by Leonard B. Lubin.Leonard Lubin was known primarily for his illustrations for children's books in which the characters are typically dressed in exotic and colorful costume based upon the artist's obsession with 18th. century fashions. Lubin, who grew up in Detroit and won a scholarship to the John Herron School of Art in Indiana, was awarded the American Book Award for illustration for "Birthday of the Infanta". Other books that won him acclaim were "The Elegant Beasts", "The Perfect Peach" and "The Pig Tale"Lubin was a brilliant artist whose original pencil sketches submitted to the publishers required minimal refinement for final submission with added hand coloring. In an interview with Lubin published in the 1989 book "Behind The Covers" by Jim Roginski, Lubin explains the accuracy of his draft renderings and quotes his work in "The Perfect Peach" in which he "did a complete pencil dummy which is almost exactly like the final book" - see scan.Good condition. Page size 12 x 9 inches - image size 8 x 5 inches. The book itself is not included.A fascinating insight into the book illustration process. I have a large collection of Lubin's original art and have listed several examples on Ebay including read more
