Help With Sourcing Illustrations

Post by ndajm01 »

Hello

I'm trying to find poster style reproductions of Stuart Tresilian "Adventure" series or Eileen Soper Famous Five series illustrations as a Christmas present, but so far with no luck. Have spent ages on Google, but to no avail.
Can anyone help in sterring me in the right direction ?

I'm fairly sure the illustrations will still be under some sort of copyright so unless someone is making those illegally and selling them on eBay/Etsy etc then you'd be out of luck.

Thanks for your replies, I had a feeling that there might be copyright issues.
Someone at work told me that Past Times were selling greetings cards at one time with Famous Five dust jacket pictures reproduced on them, so maybe there has benn some sort of limited release.
