Where can I find pictures (on the internet)of bonsai from, for example, the thirties, fifties, sixties? To enhance inspiration for design.
I have found a lot of pictures on ‘YouTube’ believe or not. There are a lot of how to but just as many showing different trees and their forms. Also Bonsai Today puts out some books with lots of pictures showing different designs. I picked up the one for Pines and Junipers. Good Luck!
hello,
Kevin willson is in my humble opinion one of the best bonsai artists in Britain. He can carve anything, as we all know. But he also knows how to style a tree.

Wired by me (I know not the best, but I’m learning)
I also want to say that Kevin and his wife really do make you feel welcome, he is a old school but a genuinely nice bloke.

Search the web for “1930s bonsai”. There are plenty of Pinterest galleries with very old photos.
