“My Father Can Fix Anything” Illustrations by Bonnie and Bill Rutherford

 

“My Father Can Fix Anything” by Mabel Watts, illustrations by midcentury greats Bonnie and Bill Rutherford. This Whitman Big Tell-a-Tale was published in 1965. Some wear here and there, staples have rusted a bit. This is a grand example of children’s book illustration. There is sadly little information about the Rutherfords on the web, who illustrated a lot of kids' books. Take a look at the color and composition here.
