Marbled papers Tirzah Garwood One of the hand made marbled papers made by Tirzah and retailed by the Little Gallery & Dunbar Hay during the 1930s. Tirzah' name may not be immediately familiar but she was the talented wife of Eric Ravilious, inevitably overshadowed by her husband's brilliance and the status of female artist/designers at the time. #marbledpapers #patternedpapers #tirzahgarwood #ericravilious

In praise of patterned paper Sarah Nechamkin A rather gorgeous patterned paper, commissioned by the Curwen Press c1950. Falkiner's Fine Papers used to sell the Curwen Papers, and others, when they were in Southampton Row. #patternedpapers #curwen #curwenpress #sarahnechamkin #falkinersfineartpaper

Penguin Music Scores Hans Schmoller A pile of the Penguin Music Scores, with covers commissioned by Schmoller (who worked at Curwen before joining Penguin) where he engaged Elisabether Friedlander, Sarah Nechamkin and others to design patterned covers for these, and the poets. #patternedpapers #hansschmoller #curwenpress #penguinmusicscores

Visitor’s London The little guide book, published by London Transport in 1954, and then republished annually up the mid 60s and beyond. It’s worth picking up at your local charity shop for the little vignettes by Edward Bawden, Eric Ravilious and others. Printed at The Curwen Press, and with a nice Curwen paper cover, of course! #curwenpress #patternedpapers #edwardbawden #ericravilious #londontransport #visitorslondon https://www.instagram.com/p/BogI-sgg0bN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rwhc4tcq2fpn
