That sounds like a great idea for an Amazon Publications project, and I hope AP takes notice. In the meantime you can find a lot in earlier AP books, in particular Illustrating Arthur Ransome (1994) and Ransome's Foreign Legion by Robert Thompson (2009). At least you can compare illos by others which were published in various editions to those by Ransome which were published of the same scenes.
One complication might be getting copyright permission to publish, as trails get old and cold, publishing houses vanish, but not work is not yet in public domain (or you don't know if it is or not). I'm not speaking of Ransome's work, as the Literary Executors are available, but other earlier illustrators.
