#BookIllustrationOfTheDay is by Rex Whistler for J Swift's Gulliver's Travels. Here's a Brobdingnagian dwarf pelting Gulliver with giant apples (1930). Whistler's exquisite & refined Baroque creations are reminiscent of Hogarth's elegant engravings. Also a magnificent muralist!
The periodical was edited and published by the British landscape designer William Robinson, with some color prints & engravings based on the work of artist Henry G. Moon. 'Flora and Sylva' is a title from a donation of botanical & horticultural books from Lynde Bradley Uihlein.
