Ernest Howard Shepard (10 December 1879 – 24 March 1976) was an English artist and book illustrator. He was known especially for his
illustrations for The Wind in
the Willows by Kenneth Grahame and Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne. He worked for Punch for nearly fifty years, contributing jokes, political cartoons and covers.
Shepard liked using small stubs of pencil and worked in ink, pen and occasional black crayon on smooth art board or watercolour paper. He rarely employed solid blacks, preferring cross-hatching and fine line or crayon for shadows. He also painted in oils. Fougasse regarded Shepard as "one of the great line draughtsmen, artistic descendant, like Gibson, of the American Edwin Abbey."
