Ready-To-Use Old-Fashioned Sports Illustrations by Carol Belanger Grafton

Sports in the good old days are the theme of this royalty-free archive of over 460 superbly detailed line illustrations featuring players of every kind of sport, suited up and ready for action. Most of the men and women depicted are modeling Victorian and early-20th-century sporting outfits and uniforms, but if their garb seems quaint, their sports are very familiar -- baseball, football, handball, bowling, tennis, golf, horseback riding, polo, archery, shooting, hunting, skating, skiing, sledding, fishing, swimming, boating, bicycling, boxing, fencing, billiards, and even rugby, lacrosse, cricket, croquet, and bocce. Selected from rare authentic sources, the illustrations in this book have been carefully chosen for quality and usefulness.

French illustrator Gustave Doré (1833-83) began his prolific career at the age of 15, and his dramatic engravings have exercised an incalculable influence over latter-day artists. The remarkable scope of his work ranges from Milton, Dante, and the Bible to Rabelais, Shakespeare, and street scenes of 19th-century London.
