Paul Hogarth (1917-2001) was one of the most distinguished illustrators and graphic artists of the late 20th century. In his work topography, illustration and reportage achieve the status of fine art, a fact reflected in his membership of the Royal Academy. Allied to his artistic talent was a passion for travel and literature, and as one would expect the book is written with great energy and wit.
