Born London 3 March 1913, Raymond Sheppard was an artist in water-colour, black and white, oil, and pastel.

Studied art at Bolt Court under S.G. Boxsius.
He exhibited: R.A; R.I; R.S.A and his work was reproduced regularly in publications including Lilliput ; The Studio, Picture Post, John Bull, Everybody’s ; in children’s books, nature books and calendars. 

Married Iris Gale on December 3rd 1942; had one daughter Christine born 17 March 1944, and one son Michael born 25th July 1946.   All feature frequently as the models in his work.  Lived in Kenton and then Harrow Weald, Middx.

He served in the RAF photographic section during the WW2. Despite long periods of ill health and the interruption of the War years he was, nevertheless, prolific in demonstrating his wide range of artistic ability as a master draughtsman, illustrator, and landscape and wildlife artist..

Raymond Sheppard produced many studies of birds and animals from life, mainly at Regents Park Zoo and was made a Fellow of the Zoological Society in 1949.
Publications: How to Draw Birds (first published by Studio in 1940), Drawing at the Zoo (1949 Studio), More Birds to Draw (Studio 1956).

He also painted landscapes, family portraits, in watercolour, oil, and pastels . He was a founder member of the Wapping Arts Group, a group of artists who sketched and painted by and around the river Thames in London, which was formed just before WW2 but did not start in earnest until 1946. 

Raymond Sheppard died in London of cancer in 1958 with which he had battled since 1949. 

Rayond Sheppards work has recently undergone a major reassessment being the subject of a number of museum and commercial shows and  featured in the Langford Press coffee table book "Raymond Sheppard:Capturing the Moment"(2009).

Between 1934 and 1958 Sheppard illustrated well over 100
books. The majority of these date from the 1950’s when Sheppard
was often illustrating as many as ten a year – a prodigious
rate tragically cut short by his death at the age of 45. Commissions
from over fifteen publishing houses (Hutchinson, Blackie
and Son, Macmillan, Oxford University Press, Faber and Faber)
included illustrations for leading authors of the day such as Enid
Blyton, (two books in 1948 as well contributing to a regular annual
she wrote all the stories for), Jim Corbett (six titles between
1947 and 1955) and, perhaps most notable of all, a commission
in 1952 (shared with Tunnicliffe) to illustrate Ernest Hemingway’s
The Old Man and the Sea.
Equally successful was Sheppard’s career as an illustrator for comics
such as Eagle, Girl, and Swift, and magazines such as Boy’s Own
Paper, Lilliput, Everbody’s, Picture Post, and Reynolds News. Lilliput
was founded in 1937 by Stefan Lorant , (the photo journalist who
later created Picture Post), with a subtitle of “The Pocket Magazine
for Everyone.” Its original size was allegedly such that it could be
slipped into a soldier’s trenchcoat and was no doubt read in many
an air-raid shelter in that handy size. During its 23 year run the
magazine contained the illustrations of Mervyn Peake, Eric Fraser,
Frank Bellamy (of Dan Dare fame) and, perhaps most famously,
Ronald Searle’s cartoon series St. Trinians. The magazine became
known for its photographs too, with work by Brassai, Zoltan
Glass and also Bill Brandt. The magazine subtitle was changed
in September 1954 to “Lilliput is a Man’s Magazine” . From a
starting position of 216,562 in 1938 - double that of Punch at the
time - by May 1959 Lilliput was only selling circa102,000 copies
- number 277, July 1960, was the last issue at which point it was
merged with Men Only.

Sheppard’s output as a graphic artist was prodigious, but he is less well known today than he might be, partly on account of his early death, at the age of forty-five. His remarkable studies of birds and animals from life were mainly undertaken at Regent’s Park Zoo. On the strength of these he was made a Fellow of the Zoological Society in 1949. In the same year, he published ‘Drawing at the Zoo’, one of three collaborations made with The Studio magazine.

‘I remember posing many, many times for my father. Sometimes we were paid pocket money for sittings, especially when we didn’t feel like sitting still! I think we wanted to help our dad and were, mainly, willing. I clearly remember the toys in the picture’ (Christine Sheppard, email to Paul Liss, 3 May 2007).

This illustration, from 1957, was commissioned by Lilliput, a small-format British monthly magazine of humour , short stories, photographs and the arts, founded in 1937 by the photojournalist Stefan Lorant.The illustration records an important event in the FirstWorldWar , when on 31 May 1915, the LZ-38
became the first Zeppelin to bomb London: ‘we can still feel a macabre horror over the picture of a pencil-slim object slow-moving in the night-dark, licked by searchlights, seemingly immune to gunfire, slipping incredible death from its belly before gliding unharmed away’ (Lilliput).

Raymond Sheppard served with the Royal Air Force photographic section
from 1939–45.
