Original illustrations in the British Museum around this period. Big honor for Pokemon.

@marco, was there a backstory, or do you have a picture of the text to the right?

Thanks

Yes! :blush:

Wait, shouldn’t they have reversed the (left) and (right) parts of the text? (or the drawings, of course)
It also says ‘digitally made drawing’, they were made with traditional water colour paints etc. right? Or is it because those results ended up being digitized?

@marco, Thanks. It looks like Red’s Pikachu was digitally made according to the text. Also, I wonder if they got the 1996 year wrong since TopSun came out in 1995 and those illustrations are included.
