Interesting. Some of the work seems very sophisticated and other pieces seem very crude, kind of cartoonish. Especially in the Fantasy section. But maybe the artist was going for a more cartoonish look as opposed to more realistic approach.

Most artwork from the era are what is called sketch books. Most were black and white with a few had water colors added. This is why that is the type of artwork, I authorized for my primer books on the Spanish and Germans in the AmRev.

"Interesting. Some of the work seems very sophisticated and other pieces seem very crude, kind of cartoonish."

They seem in the most part to be worked up from photos of re-enactors. A short cut that can expose artistic limitations.
