The
illustrator, Tom Shefelman, is an architect in Texas. His interest in
buildings began when he was nine and was given a set of Compton’s
Picture Encyclopedia. One of the pictures was of the Temple of
Karnak on the Nile River. When he was much older he decided
to become an architect. His fascination with buildings seem to show
through to his children’s book illustrations. In I, Vivaldi
Shefelman includes many buildings and structures in his
illustrations. Compare the illustrations with these found
photographs.Church of San Marco (Venice) Illustration of Vivaldi watching the gondoliers moving their gondolas along the canal | |
