Artur Ernesto Teixeira de Vasconcelos Barbosa (6 March 1908 – 5 October 1995[1]) was an artist best known for his distinctive cover illustrations for Georgette Heyer and George MacDonald Fraser's The Flashman Papers novels, which he produced for 17 and 25 years respectively.[1] Although always anglicising his first name, he disliked modern familiarity and preferred being known as Barbosa.[1]
