Walter de la Mare (1873-1956) is considered one of modern literature's chief exemplars of the romantic imagination. His complete works form a sustained treatment of romantic themes: dreams, death, rare states of mind and emotion, fantasy worlds of childhood, and the pursuit of the transcendent.Frederick Rowland Emett (1906--1990), known as Rowland Emett (sometimes misspelled as Emmett) was an English cartoonist and constructor of whimsical kinetic sculpture. During War II, he worked as a draughtsman for the Air Ministry while perfecting his gift for drawing cartoons. From 1939 until the 1950s, and less frequently in the 1960s, he published regularly in Punch and for many years when his work was published elsewhere it was credited to "Emett of Punch."I have other hard-to-find original Punch cartoon illustrations for sale.
