I've found a few credits for Williams: Happy Hearts, ed. Harry Golding (London & Melbourne, Ward Lock & Co., 1909), Dr Owl's Academy, verse by Jessie Pope (London, Blackie & Co., 1911), The Three Little Kittens by R. M. Ballantyne (Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12010426017572710283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32738097.post-55593141252886669002013-08-09T03:53:04.178+01:002013-08-09T03:53:04.178+01:00I have been trying to get info on F.A.

While the signature on you elephant image is the same, my examples are from many years earlier as the illustrator of "The Robber Kitten" (Blackie & Son) I also have a small watercolor of a sailing vessel dated 1883. Several other books from Blackie also use F.A.Williams illustrations. Could the cartoon from the 50's be Rob Smithhttp://smithwrite.netnoreply@blogger.com
