The copyright in AR's original illustrations is now administered by AR's literary executors. I can supply contact details for these, if necessary. But as Owen suggests, the publishers may have design rights in connection with the jackets and they will need to be contacted too. My advice to Peter W is to create his own jackets quietly, and give help to close friends who wish to do likewise, equally quietly.
(And some whispered extra advice to PW - not perhaps the best idea to announce what you are doing on Tarboard . . . Nuff said)
