Betty Middleton-Sandford
Betty Middleton-Sandford was a British artist and book illustrator of the mid 20th century. Her simple, naïve, black and white line drawings feature in early editions of Green’s Tales of the Greek Heroes (1958) and The Tale of Troy (1958). She also contributed the illustrations for Naomi Mitchison’s The Young Alexander the Great, published in 1960. Her depictions of the gods and heroes draw upon the profiles of classical vase painting, and her drawings convey texture and detail via repeated patterns of swirls, lines and dots.
