Catalogue Note
Acclaimed illustrator Paul Cox has worked for the Daily Telegraph, Country Life, The Spectator, Sunday Times Magazine, Punch, The Times, Vanity Fair and Esquire. He has illustrated numerous classic titles for The Folio Society.
“I feel that I owe my career as an illustrator to Jim Dixon – raising the three-quarters full port bottle to his lips, leaning on Professor Welsh’s drinks cabinet from which he had been given ‘the smallest drink he’d ever been socially offered’. It so vividly struck me that my image connected with such a resonance. It was for a Folio Society competition in 1982 judged by David Driver for The Times who gave me my first real work and the Folio Society my first book – Thank you Jim!”
