Illustrator
Eric Fraser (1902-1983) drew portraits of composers Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius, and Gustav Holst for the radio broadcast of a 1959 concert commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of their deaths. The full illustration of the trio was published in
Radio Times, and the individual portraits of Delius and Holst were reused on several occasions. The original illustration was sold by the Chris Beetles Gallery in London.
