Olga Tovisvari

[Hungary] (b?/d?)

This is one of those strange cases where I make a search for the Artist name and only get 1 result in the Internet...Well i think it is better than to have many inconclusive results..
The only result I got  allows me to say that Olga Tovisvari was an Artist active in the 50's and 60's (at least..) as Book Cover Designer and Illustrator of Children's and Crime books...even with a search in Hungarian , I cannot find the name of the Artist, but i found out  many other great Illustrators, specially of Children's books.. Some help is needed, unfortunately and again..!!
