Figure 1.-- We have noted some lovely Biblical illustrations that he did for Blanche Winder's Children's Stories from the Bible. We are not positive when it was published, but it appears to have been approximately 1930.

We have very limited information on Harry Theaker. We have noted some lovely Biblical illustrations that he did for Blanche Winder's Children's Stories from the Bible. I am not positive when it was published, but it appears to have been approximately 1930. A HBC reader writes, "The Theaker Biblical illustrations show dramatic and different styles of dress for the boys featured. In all of the illustrations, the boys dress is finely detailed, noting that the illustrator was well versed and knowledgeable of clothing during biblical times. It seems the illustrator details how boys living in the upper hierarchy would have dressed. Whilst I'm not sure if the boys would have always have been dressed like this on a daily basis, the illustrator no doubt took care to detail how ceremonial clothing would have looked like during those times." HBC is less sure how well reserched the illustrations are, but they are certainly beautifully done illustrations.
