We note far fewer 20th century drawings, but this was not a period that the sisters totally avoided. We are not sure if the smaller number of 20th century drawinfs reflects a lack of interest or a lack of suitable commissions. There were some 20th century drawings, some even with relatively modern clothing. While fewer, there are 20th century illustrations with destinctive harments like short pants and jeans. Generally speaking, their 20th century illustrations are those required by the modern setting of a book that they illustrated. These drawings are generally done more realistically with less flare and whimsey that aew notable in the 19th century drawings.
