Cocks have nothing to do with it.
An older illustrator than that, and (at the time at least, and to some extent still) a pre-eminent one.
You didn't mention the most unequivocal one.

Man-horse is a centaur
American illustrators number in the hundreds
Gropius is Bauhaus
Switzerland could be anything from cuckoo clocks to wartime neutrality or alps
only 12 Sherlock Holmes adventures, none stand out
founder of the eternal city may be Romulus, Remus, some real individual or Emperor Kanmu of Japan
I think that this one's too difficult for me.

Switzerland... think Switzerland itself, not something in Switzerland. A knowledge of philately may help.
I did not capitalise Adventure in Holmes' adventure, and it isn't one of those. (I'd have had the same problem if I'd called it a case.)
Can't help you further with the illustrator, except that AFAIK he was mainly a magazine illustrator.
