I wrote in
2012 how I was pointed to some - till then - unidentified artwork by Frank Bellamy which led to me discovering the two titles "
The Pictorial Encyclopedia" and "
The Pictorial History Book"
Well, a recent routine search led me to seeing, rather than reading about some Sheppard artwork about which I knew nothing and it appears in "
The Pictorial Encylopaedia of Scientific Knowledge". I saw it in black and white, but knew, if it was the same series as mentioned, it would be in that strange "off colour", when it arrived. I ordered a copy - God bless Abebooks! I couldn't find a copy of one with its dustjacket, but online, in Spain of all places, I saw this:

| Dustjacket and book |
The Pictorial Encyclopaedia of Scientific Knowledge (Editorial board: Dr. Montagu H. Clifford, I. S. Dear, Charles Harvey, E S Wolff) London: Sampson Low, Marston & Co., [1956]
 |
The Pictorial Encyclopaedia of Scientific Knowledge, p6
This shows Sheppard credited |

If you look very clearly, after clicking to enlarge the images, Sheppard clearly signed the work leaving me in no doubt!
