With #COP27 coming to a reluctant close, we thought it an opportune moment to showcase one of our most recent additions, a cartoon of the first governmental appointee in an environmental role, Peter Walker (1932-2010), Conservative MP for Worcester, appointed Secretary of State for the Environment by Edward Heath in 1970, the first such appointment anywhere in the world. This original pen & ink drawing is by the renowned @TheTimes and @Guardian political caricaturist Richard Willson (1939-2011). Visit roberthall[dot]pictures to see more excellent caricatures by this artist. #caricatures #environmentalism #caricatures #politicalcaricature @cop27_egypt @conservatives @obsnewreview @envagency

Today celebrating the Curwen Press series of Contemporary Lithographs, via this wonderful fantasy harbour scene by Edward Wadsworth (1889-1949). Wadsworth trained at Bradford and then the Slade, in 1909. He was very much a modernist, taking part in Roger Fry’s Post-Impressionist exhibition of 1913, and Wyndham-Lewis’s Vorticist movement from 1914. After WWI, his artistic path brought him closer to Nicholson, Hepworth, Piper and even surrealism. He had long been drawn to industrial, military and maritime subjects, and this composition for the series was based on an earlier painting with the same title. Visit our website for further Curwen Press lithographs. (Frame, and ancillary ambient examples of an artificially distressed state, not included) #curwenpress #limitededitions #maritime #nautical #harbours #modernprints #lithographs #colourlithographs #christmasgifts #fineprinting #modernart
