Eileen Soper
Eileen Soper, born in 1905 was the second daughter of an accomplished artist, George Soper, who was an engraver, etcher and illustrator. Taught by her father, George Soper, she showed early promise as an artist. Two of her etchings were exhibited at the Royal Academy in London when she was 15. She showed three prints at an exhibition organized by the International Society of Printmakers in California. Soper continued to produce around 180 etchings mostly of children at play into the early 1930s. Her work was popular and well-received and shown in the UK and the USA. Today, Soper is best known for her collaboration with Enid Blyton, most notably all of the Famous Five books. She produced a series of etchings mainly of children playing and illustrated books for other writers, notably for Enid Blyton and Elizabeth Gould, and wrote and illustrated her own children's book. Some of her illustrations of children and animals were used in a china series for children by Paragon China in the 1930s. Later in life, she concentrated on writing and illustrating wildlife books. Soper was a founder member of the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) and was elected a member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers (RMS) in 1972.

- "Mes Petites Amies, Les Deux Sœurs" signed by Jacques VillonBy Jacques VillonLocated in Milwaukee, WIThis is an original drypoint and aquatint artwork by Jacques Villon. The artist signed in pencil on the lower right. As well as signed in plate at the top right of the image. This is a wonderful artwork of different intaglio processes being brought together in a beautiful almost seamless harmony. The thin pencil like markings and hair detailing are made using the Drypoint printmaking method. Whilst the color details around the girls are made using the Aquatint etching method. Jacques Villon shows his skills as a printmaker with the way these pieces line up perfectly and with how clean the rest of the plate is around the girls.

In January 1894, having completed his studies at the Lycée Corneille in Rouen, he was sent to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Paris, but within a year he was devoting most of his time to art, already contributing lithographs to Parisian illustrated newspapers such as Assiette au beurre. At this time he chose his pseudonym: Jack (subsequently Jacques) in homage to Alphonse Daudet’s novel Jack (1876) and Villon in appreciation of the 15th-century French poet François Villon...Category
