 Anthony Anthony was not a trained , professional artist . The illustrations are described as " striking and boldly executed , but [ ... ] have few claims to be fine works of art " . The vessels are for the most part painted according to a standard formula , with distinct repetitions even in the more elaborate depictions . Anthony 's style is signified by a " naive draughtsmanship and conformity to a pattern [ ... ] consistent with the abilities of a government official with a decent amateur grasp of form and colour " .
