Angus McBride
Angus McBride is one of the world's most respected historical and fantasy illustrators, and has contributed to numerous books, magazines and articles, including the classic Look & Learn, JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings, and more than 70 Osprey titles (see our Illustrated Military History section) in the past three decades. Born in 1931 of Highland parents, but orphaned as a child, he was educated at Canterbury Cathedral Choir School. He worked in advertising agencies from 1947, and after National Service, emigrated to South Africa, and thence to Ireland where, sadly, he died earlier this year.
