Pete Beard's Unsung Heroes of Illustration

This document lists illustrators profiled by Pete Beard's program Unsung Heroes of Illustration. It's purpose is to organize additional information about the artists featured.

Pete Beard's YouTube channel can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEP5zb_eXvX2q2BlH8XkXNA

He describes his project like this:

"I had always thought that many illustrators from the past got nothing like the attention they deserved so I decided to make some videos about a few of these almost forgotten talents. The unsung heroes series was originally intended to be about illustrators from what's known as the golden age of illustration. But I soon realized that meant ignoring many early 20th century illustrators who strictly speaking didn't fit that description. So I compromised and ended up with parameters of those born between 1850 and 1910. "

Peter Beard's work is the inspiration and foundation for this project, which I began on my initiative. Richir-8 18:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
