Janet and Anne were twins who always illustrated together passing the work between them which I always find interesting. As well as books they were involved in British kids television of the 50's and 60's.

I've never actually looked at the original illustrations for 101 Dalmations by Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone until I picked up a used paperback last week and was surprised at the tone of them compared to the Disney movie version I'm familiar with. Very dark, shadowy and evoking a more expressionistic, Victorian vibe, I really like them.

Pretty cool...evokes a totally different mood then that of the film.
Yeah I'm sure I must have seen an image or two in the past but I've never looked at the whole thing. It funny how some images look familiar but as you say evoke a different mood.
