Gerald Wilkinson

Gerald Sedgewick Wilkinson, (9 February 1926 – 10 March 1988) was a British illustrator, art historian, naturalist, photographer, artist and book-designer, known for his books on J. M. W. Turner's sketches and on British trees and woodlands. Though there had been many sections on the genus ''Ulmus'' in books and journals, Wilkinson's monograph, ''Epitaph for the Elm'' (1978), written for the general reader and illustrated in colour, was the first such book to be published in the UK.
