Talk and Display by Mark Bergin

​There  were certainly fireworks at this Guy Fawkes meeting, with a sparkling  talk by renowned Illustrator Mark Bergin. Mark’s superb, meticulous and  highly detailed illustrative work can be seen in a huge amount of  historical, scientific and educational books, artwork  for video games,  films and other publications.  His historical interpretations and  cutaway illustrations (including acetate books which were tremendously difficult  to create) are breath-taking in their accuracy and attention to detail.   In 1991, he won the Time Ed Senior Book Award for ‘An Egyptian  Pyramid’.  He joked that he has drawn many Vikings – but they certainly  did NOT wear horns!    All absolutely enthralling!
