The Bird Cage William Scott a detail from his 1930s lithograph for Lyons & Co. this was No 14 in the series and commissioned to brighten up their tearooms and something to admire as the nippies bought out the plates of sandwiches and cakes. The original painting on which the lithograph was based is at The Brighton Museum. I think my favourite of the series. #williamscott #lithograph #lyonslithographs #chromoworks #artforall #johnpiper #robertwellington

Come & Explore BRITAIN S.R.Badmin detail from a 1950s poster for the USA market encouraging Americans to visit Britain. Illustrated by Badmin, a genius of Illustration, who perhaps has fallen out of favour with his ‘chocolate box’ portrayal of an idealised countryside paintings of the post war. A superbly skilled craftsman though and I do like the hikers and coach. #chromoworks #srbadmin #badmin #visitbritain #tourist #coachtours #hiking #nostalgia

Cutest way to ever grain a tiny stone. Also loving the little stone cart. Watch the video, you'll see what I mean. And ofc the beautiful offset beast towards the end <3 No sound, I think, no printshop animals (the sheep doesn't count), but still, good Saturday litho video throwback to the 1940s in Britain. Thanks to Frank from the Dutch Lithography Museum for linking this ;)
