Alexander the Circus Pony Phyllis Ginger 1942 Lithographs from one of the best Puffin Picture Books. Phyllis Ginger was a protege of S R Badmin and was one of the artists selected for the Recording Britain Project. Sharp eyes will spot that the street scene (Bristol centre) is almost identical to her later lithograph for the School Print series, commissioned by Brenda Rawnsley. Lithographed at the Baynard Press, as was Badmin’s Village and Town. #phyllisginger #circus #alexanderthecircuspony #puffinpicturebook #schoolprints #recordingbritain https://www.instagram.com/p/BtK-LajAkQ3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hwbf1zujqx5u

The Strong Man Phyllis Ginger Snip from Alexander the Circus Pony, her Puffin Picture Book. It took over two years of research and drawing before it eventually appeared. Initially it was planned to be published by John Murray, in a larger format, alongside Ravilious' painting book on submarines. Both those projects were abandoned but the resulting Puffin was one of the series highlights. #phyllisginger #alexanderthecircuspony #autolithography #noelcarrington #ericravilious #thestrongman

Ginger was one of the artists commissioned for Kenneth Clark's Recording Britain project alongside Barbara Jones and Enid Marx.
