On this page are a selection of Artworks by Jan and Cora Gordon. as they are from various sources the quality of reproduction is, in many cases, far less than I would like and therefore I ask you to bear this in mind. This applies especially to those works reproduced from old colour illustrations in magazines or books, which are mostly over 60 years old. They do not do real justice to the colour and vibrancy of the originals. Nor have many of the photos taken by myself been of the best quality due mostly to my deficiences as a a photographer.
