Julia Dorothy Fitchew was born in Camberwell, the daughter of the illustrator and art editor, Edward Hubert Fitchew (1851-1934). Between 1911-1915 she exhibited a number of large and elaborate watercolours of Shakespearean and legendary subjects at the Royal Academy. She later worked as an illustrator, including a 1930 collaboration with Charles Folkard on an edition of nursery rhymes. In later years she increasingly specialised in natural history subjects and illustrations. The Natural History Museum, London, hold a collection of her work.

- Pencil drawing of a staircase on a forest path by skillful italian artistLocated in Milan, ITDrawing size: 50 x 37.5 cm Paper size: 74 x 58 cm Sara Menon was born in 1985 in Palmanova and lives and works in Aquileia, in the province of Udine. She specialized in the restoration of paintings and wooden sculptures in Mantua, a profession she still pursues today, while continuing to experiment with other art forms such as painting, sculpture and illustration. Her passion and activity as a naturalistic and scientific illustrator began in 2002, when she collaborated with medical examiner Gianpiero Ceci, producing a series of anatomical-surgical plates to accompany her publications, mainly related to the field of obstetrics and gynecology.

She had the opportunity to publish some naturalistic plates for the publishing house Il Prato...Category
