MEET THE JURY FOR OUR 200 BEST ILLUSTRATORS BOOK
“For me, a jury for a visual craft based book without Anne Telford’s discerning look would be incomplete.” – Michael Weinzettl introduces the jury for our 200 Best Illustrators book, a feast for the eyes that is due to hit shelves this summer.

At present we at Archive are working on the new volume of the bi-annual 200 Best Illustrators Worldwide, which is going to be published this summer.

Matthew - a Research Fellow in Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading - has written and lectured widely on the history of illustration and design. Most recently Matthew was Guest Curator of the British Library's exhibition “Picture This: Children's Illustrated Classics.”

And last but not least, there was Anne Telford, who’s been assisting us with selecting the best in photography, illustration as well as digital imaging for quite a number of years now.
