Percy Billinghurst Wall Calendar – British Artist, Childrens Books, Hand Illustrated, Semi-Glossy Paper

Some of the most beguiling drawings of animals in the history of British book illustration belong to Percy Billinghurst (1871–1933) — a quietly remarkable British artist whose hand illustrated work has enchanted book lovers for over a century. His fox illustration, bird artwork, and richly observed animal characters first found their audience in A Hundred Fables of La Fontaine (1900), where his expressive black-and-white pen-and-ink drawings brought ancient stories to vivid, breathing life. From prowling lions and wily foxes to delicate British birds, Billinghurst had an extraordinary gift for personality — each creature rendered with wit, warmth, and an illustrator’s instinct for the telling detail. His distinctive monochrome style sits firmly in the golden age of British illustration, a tradition that book lovers and collectors of hand illustrated art return to again and again.

We have carefully curated a selection of Billinghurst’s most captivating illustrations for this wall calendar — images that stop people in their tracks and open conversations about art, storytelling, and the picture book as an art form. When the months have passed, these prints are far too good to recycle — cut out your favourites and frame them as characterful pieces for your own walls, or gift them to someone who loves the rare and the beautifully made.

Customers in the United States will receive the calendar in Ledger size (11×16.5 inches), while those in the EU, UK, Australia, and other regions will receive it in A3 size (29.7×42 cm).
