#219: Brian Cook Batsford - representations of the natural world

Alongside the striking illustrations of the Ladybird Books illustrators I have previously blogged about, are those of Brian Cook Batsford.

Brian Cook Batsford was active in the 1940s and beyond. He was a politican and painter.

Here is one example of the illustrations that he produced for the series of books which were published.

I have a hardback book, which has gathered togther a whole series of covers from the publishers. They are distinctive and beautiful pieces of art.
