McBride tribute in The Guardian

Following my news item on the sad death of illustrator Angus McBride recently, The Guardian published a full obituary to Angus yesterday 26 May, written by Steve Holland.

In it, William Shepherd of Osprey, the Oxford-based publisher of military history books who utilised the talents of this brilliant artist to the full, recalls "Angus was happiest when there was room for an element of creativity. He could make his subjects look like living people. It was that and the filling in of detail that made his work so exciting."
