This is the unique original Gouache painting by Harry Green.

Sheriff Pat Garrett (far left) brought to an end the exploits of Billy the Kid, the 19th century American frontier outlaw and gunman. The small inset shows Lew Wallace - more famous as the author of Ben Hur - who was the governor of New Mexico and who in 1879 asked Billy the Kid to give himself up.

This is the original artwork for illustrations on pages 30-31 of Look and Learn issue no 1035 (9 January 1982).
  • Artist Biography
    Harry Green (born 1920; UK)
    A little-known artist, Harry Green contributed extensively to Look and Learn in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrating a variety of subjects ranging from historical buildings to football. However, it was as a transport illustrator that he really made his mark in the 1980 with the series "Britain's Railway Wonders". Green also contributed illustrations to Speed & Power in the 1970s.

    His book illustrations include Architecture (1969), Architecture: The Great Art of Building (1969), Discovery of Australia (1969) and Discovery of South America (1970), some of which were jointly illustrated by Gwen Green who was also a prolific children's educational book illustrator.
