It is the night before Christmas and all through the house, nothing was stirring not even a mouse. But the Osprey blog continues, as does our advent calendar! And behind door number 24 we have a piece of artwork from Adam Hook, from the book Fortress 105 Forts of the American Frontier 1776-1891: California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska.
Adam Hook studied graphic design, and began his work as an illustrator in 1983. He specializes in detailed historical reconstructions, and has illustrated Osprey titles on the Aztecs, the Greeks, several 19th-century American subjects, and a number of books in the Fortress series. His work features in exhibitions and publications throughout the world.
