Escott, Dan

British illustrator Dan Escott (1928-1987) wrote and drew many features which played to his strength and interest in heraldry and medieval history. He was a regular contributor to the ‘From Then Till Now’ feature in Look and Learn as well as creating back cover series on flags of the world, national symbols of Britain, and the Guilds of London amongst many others. Escott later emigrated to Australia where he worked for the Australian Geographic. He died in Sydney on 7 May 1987, aged 58.
