London Curwen Gallery 1983 Limited Numbered Edition Unbound Fine Limited Edition Signed by Artist
n.d. [1983] Limited 160 copies, numbered and signed by Bawden. Image size approx. 47 x 61 cm. Printed by Curwen to celebrate Bawden's 80th birthday, Kew Palace, also known as The Dutch House, was built in 1631 by Samuel Fortrey, a merchant of Dutch origin. It is constructed of red bricks laid in a style known as Flemish bond, and the gabled main front gives the house a Dutch appearance. It was first used by the Royal Family in 1728. The Palace was finally purchased by George III in 1781 to accommodate his expanding family, and subsequently becaming a more permanent home for the Royal Family. George III spent time here during his Madness, and Queen Charlotte, died here in 1818. The building was recently restored and reopened, with Prince Charles giving a dinner for Elizabeth II for her 80th birthday. Edward Bawden, along with his friend Eric Ravilious, attended the Royal College of Art, and was taught by Paul Nash. Curwen printed a large amount of his work. During the Second World, he served as an Official War Artist, travelling in Europe and the Middle East..
