A tribrute to Angus McBride (1931-2007)

Have have just learnt that one of the best illustrators of historic books and someone whose style has influenced my own work to a small degree, has died.

Angus McBride, famous for his illustrations in the Osprey books, passed away on 15th May 2007 at his home near Waterford in the Republic of Ireland. A few days after his 76th birthday, while taking an afternoon break from the drawingboard to enjoy the view and wildlife in his garden, Angus died of a heart attack, without a moment's warning. Sympathy goes to all his family and friend, he will be sadly missed.
