Weaver, Nigel; O'Neill, Robin; Bawden, Edward Edward Bawden in the Middle East
Woodbridge (Suffolk) Antique Collectors' Club Ltd 2008 1851495657 / 9781851495658 First Edition Hardback Fine Fine
96 pp., Edward Bawden was one of the original official war artists during the Second World War. For five years, Bawden was prevented from continuing to work as a printmaker, designer and book illustrator. Instead, he was employed to portray the war. His tools were pencil and watercolours. His subjects were mostly people - local inhabitants in the main - Sheikhs, troops, an Emperor, and children all found their way in to his pictures; and so it was that Bawden was to develop his ability in portraiture. Where, to his delight, buildings with architectural details were to be found, then they too would became part of a new dimension in his work. In retrospect, this period was the high point of his work in watercolour; now, with the considerable assistance of the Imperial War Museum, London, this publication has enabled them to be brought together for the enjoyment of a wider public. 3d

BAWDEN, Edward Kew Palace
London Curwen Gallery 1983 Limited Numbered Edition Limited Edition Unbound Fine 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..
