I'd like to contact Juliet Doyle, this blog writer, but don't see a way to do so. I am trying to rreactivate my old blog on this site in case bloggers can communicate with each other. No luck so far (password assistance email not arrived).

Outstanding! I can fully appreciate why this author and illustrator would have such a profound effect on you as a child, beautifully realised illustrations that are truly evocative of the time, very art deco, remins me a lot of Aubrey Beardsley!<BR/><BR/>I have always as a graphic designer loved illustration, this is the first time I have come across the work of Gladys, truly inspiring!<BR/><BR/>Mark- Southamptonmarkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00936955046025302052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-47146699123909686972008-01-22T07:00:00.000+00:002008-01-22T07:00:00.000+00:00Hi kvelk - thanks so much for getting in touch.

I confess to having known very little about her until I did my own bit of Googling before putting together this post. Thanks for the Wiki article, too, and do let me know if you post anything else about her. I'll keep an eye on your blog from now on!Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18055924620237477722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-15140088552068025992008-01-22T02:37:00.000+00:002008-01-22T02:37:00.000+00:00Hi.

I'm (obviously) a fellow Peto fan and I found your post here after one of my periodic Google searches to see if there was any new info out there. I posted some more images and information on her and some pictures on my own blog in Nov. Dec. 2005. I will try to post a link. I hope you will check those out. Not sure how to direct you exactly to those posts but if you look at the archives in my blog you should find them or search blogger. Hope you find them interesting. I was happy to read about your interests and see the scans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684094023681819935.post-67769651336236930842008-01-12T15:53:00.000+00:002008-01-12T15:53:00.000+00:00An excellent post, I am a big fan of the drawings ...An excellent post, I am a big fan of the drawings of the 1930's.
