Entertaining A La Carte: Edward Bawden and Fortnum & Mason
BAWDEN, Edward

Category: Illustrated, Private Press

Place/Publisher/Date:
Norwich, Mainstone. 2007.

Description: Introduction by Peyton Skipwith. Limited edition; 4to; original cloth boards. Edition of 1000. Over 200 colour illustrations. This book brings together many of the illustrations that Bawden produced for Fortnum & Mason. Full of humour, these stunning designs were used to decorate seasonal catalogues, brochures, menu cards, order forms and envelopes. Fortnum & Mason and Edward Bawden were an unlikely double act: one a firm devoted to luxury provisions and lavish entertaining, the other an acutely shy and retiring artist. Fine.
