Philip Rickman (1891–1982) was a British illustrator and watercolor artist, best known for his realistic depictions of game birds and wildfowl.

Harold Frank Wallace (1881-1962) was a British/Scottish landscape and wildlife painter whose paintings are still valued by collectors.

Captain Hugh Bertie Campbell Pollard (1888-1966) was an authority in modern and ancient firearms, and this is one of his notable books. He was active in British military and police forces in Ireland and London, contributing to the British press along the way. He made significant contributions during both world wars, as well as in the case of Jack the Ripper. [Thompson Gun Ireland * com]
