Tibor Gergely

While altering Scuffy the Tugboat and Daddies, I was struck by the wonderful intricacy of Tibor Gergely's work.
He died in 1978. But there's a web page with many of his works on it: I love the Americana collection here.
I still have Rosie the Rhinoceros to reconstruct (who knows what form that will take?) and a host of other Golden Book illustrators to wax lyrical about!
Here's a bit of Tibor's work from my version of Daddies:

And here's a video about him and his life from an interview with a friend of his.
