Alan Odle
Alan Odle (1888–1948) was an English illustrator, remembered today as the husband of the English novelist Dorothy Richardson. His grotesque and subversive style was a precursor of surrealism. He illustrated an English edition of Voltaire's Candide, Mark Twain's 1601 and The Mimiambs of Herondas. He contributed to a number of short-lived periodicals such as The Gypsy & The Golden Hind.
He married Richardson in 1917. The film director and Python Terry Gilliam is a connoisseur of his work. There is an article on him by Martin Steenson in the Antiquarian Book Monthly Review October 1979.
