Edward Bawden

BibliOdyssey showcases the diverse work of British illustrator Edward Bawden (1903-1989). "In a sixty year career, Bawden produced numerous book and poster illustrations, ceramic, wallpaper, patterned paper and metal garden furniture designs, woodblock, linocut and lithographic prints as well as a sizeable body of watercolour and gouache paintings. He travelled extensively and taught printing and design at a range of institutions." His varied landscapes and "subtly humorous" sketches of people are especially interesting—worth a look!
