Illustrating: Information on Boys' Fashions--Derek Lucas


Figure 1.--This Derek Lucas 1973 illustration updated the Secret Seven illustrations, outfitting the boys in contemporary clothes. Note that one of the boys still wears school sandals.

Derek Lucas illustrated some of the Secret Seven books in the 1970s. He attempted to update the clothing the children were wearing. The boys still had caps and blazers in some of the illustrations, but thy were all wearing long trousers. Some boys still wore school sandals. I did not notice any sneakers or American inovations like baseball caps. We have few other details on Lucas' other illustrations at this time.
