Dragons

This cropped up on Twitter- E. Nesbit’s 'Book Of Dragons'. I'm unfamiliar with this book but it looks great and has been in print for a century! I'm not sure which edition features these wonderful Searle dragons but it looks like early Searle-perhaps late forties?

A similar dragon design appeared in this illustration for a Patrick Campbell story in Lilliput magazine.

This next one appeared in 'Haven't We Met Before Somewhere?' (1966)

A much later design featured in this 1982 drawing for a Lloyds Bank Brochure.
