Eelco Martinus ten Harmsen van der Beek was Born on the 9th October 1897 in Amsterdam, Holland where his father owned a pharmacy at 41 Sint Antoniusbreestraat.

When young, Eelco and his brother Hein would sell postcards that Eelco had drawn on the streets of Amsterdam.

Eelco attended the Rijksakademie School of Art in Amsterdam between 1916-1918 and after leaving had no problem finding work, mostly commercial, illustrating articles in newspapers and magazines.

One of the earliest books that Eelco illustrated was called De Driewenschen, written by Jac der Klei, which was published in 1920.


It is for Blyton's Noddy characters that Beek is most remembered and recognized.
