Travellers’ Verse Edward Bawden Bawden’s first book after WW2, commissioned as one of the New Excursions into English Poetry series. Bawden autolithographed this at the Curwen Press, where he had also started work on The Arabs. He found the whole process of lithography bewildering at first and managed to persuade Harold Curwen to come out of retirement to advise him. An attractive book, but in a way a warm up for the Arabs, which is far superior (imo). #edwardbawden #travellersverse #thearabs #curwenpress #haroldcurwen #autolithography https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt2vztagMMP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1w9lexysyil76
