Frank ADAMS
(1871 -1944)
Paysagiste et dessinateur anglais
On ne trouve que très peu d'informations sur cet artiste. Il a travaillé vers 1903 à New York et exposé des aquarelles à Londres entre 1923 et 1935. Dans ses illustrations de livres d'enfants, on sent les influences des grands maîtres en la matière: Cecil Aldin* et John Hassall*. Ses illustrations de livres pour adultes sont surtout des esquisses de paysages.
