About the Illustrations:
The work of three talented artists was used to illustrate the book. They each have a different style, as you can see in the sample pages below. They all submitted their illustrations in black and white, and the artist at XiteQ Books pulled them together by giving them all the same treatment, a semi-transparent touch of watercolor in muted pastels.
The decision to use all three artists an easy one, because Jo Ann Wheeler Burbank's illustrations concentrate on the early childhood of Friedrich, while Al Grega's work covers his boyhood and Ray Bono depicts him as a man.
