Description

Two drawing on a single sheet, both used for an illustrated novel titled "Profughi" (Refugees), writted by G.E. Nuccio and published in Italy by La Scolastica - Ostiglia in 1915.

Enrico Novelli (Pisa 1876 - Firenze 1943), called Yambo, was a journalist, illustrator, writer and comic book artist/writer, best known for his children's books.
Endowed with eclectic personality and talent, he was one of the prominent authors of popular literature in Italy during the first half of the 20th century.
Thanks to his fantastic and adventurous stories (published mainly in magazines), in addition to his movie titled "An Interplanetary Marriage" (released in 1910!), he's also considered as one of the forerunners of Sci-Fi in Italy.

Nice use of negative space on the nighttime castlescape skyline. Almost has a scratchboard feel to it. Congrats!

Your childhood was filled with such beautiful illustrations. Mine was filled with a drunken egg who had vertigo issues.

We got something, we Yambo it
We love art too much the artist
Ain't no real big secret of his name
Somehow, he illustrated

Children, it’s all Enrico Novelli, baby
You believe what you want to believe

You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a profughi)

Such a unique piece, not to mention a historical relic.
