Lavishly illustrated book showing work done by Bawden for Fortnum and Mason between 1932 and 1939 and also 1955 and 1959

Fortnum & Mason and Edward Bawden were an unlikely double act: one a firm devoted to luxury provisions and lavish entertaining, the other a shy, retiring artist, who once proposed to offer charcoal biscuits and water to guests at a ‘gloom party’. Yet the relationship inspired Bawden to produce some of his finest work, and today his vivid, fanciful illustrations are widely appreciated. This book presents the advertising material illustrated by the artist for Fortnum & Mason on either side of World War II. Showcasing Christmas catalogues, menu cards, promotional brochures and other ephemera, this luxurious volume is the ideal souvenir of Fortnum’s recent 300th anniversary and a memento of Edward Bawden’s work.

If the world’s favourite English emporium is famous for promoting a love of good things, Edward Bawden is the one artist who best captured that spirit. The introductory essay is by Peyton Skipwith, Edward Bawden’s literary executor and a former director of the Fine Art Society.

You can't go wrong with Dr Seuss
Format: Board book
Dr Seuss is always Just Right! This was a first Valentine's Day present for Thing 1 and Thing 2 (4 month old twins) even if Mom is still not so sure with my naming them but it kinda stuck before the gender reveal so there you go. The 4-year-old Big Bro will be reading it to the baby brothers in no time. The quality, size, low price for a hardback book to be read and read and read is perfect. It was so appropriate for the little dudes.
