A SELECTION OF INTERESTING MENUS

Pen, ink and watercolour on paper. 22 x 14cm. A wonderful original artwork, featuring a hot air balloon most probably created for Fortnum and Mason. Folded in the form of a brochure. The image is in very good condition with a little rubbing to the extremities. The fold is worn with a small split (not affecting the image). A very attractive piece.

Provenance: Estate of Stanley Jones MBE, Artist And Master Lithographer. Edward Bawden (1903-89) was a master printmaker, illustrator, watercolourist and designer and is today recognised as one of the most influential artists of his generation. He is perhaps best-known for his commercial work for companies such as Twinings and Fortnum & Mason, and his linocuts depicting everyday England.
