This is the unique original Watercolour painting by Edwin Phillips.
Red, Red Rose, illustration based on the poem by Robbie Burns. Artist Edwin Phillips seems to have used Breakfast at Tiffany's star Audrey Hepburn as his female model. (See also Phillips' great painting illustrating Lorna Doone from four issues earlier.)
Original artwork from Look and Learn no. 43 (10 November 1962).
Edwin Phillips Phillips' illustrations were widely used in the magazines Look and Learn and in Everybody's Weekly, as well as in many titles of the 1950s and 1960s.
His photo-realistic style and use of colour were ideal for the time when colour illustrations were few and far between and photography was beginning to take over in popular weeklies in the UK
Very little biography could be found for Edwin Phillips and it is a great source of sadness that despite their popularity many talented book and magazine illustrators of the 1950s and 1960s were just work-for-hire and often not even credited.
