The English Lakes

Description

Found in our archives, the Black's Sketchbooks are a series of books produced in the early 20th century by a group of well-known artists. Each book contains pen sketches of iconic English and Scottish cities and counties. There are also some books on Continental cities such as Paris and Venice. The result is a charming series of books that present a fascinating look at British and European locations as they were almost a century ago. This title is a delightful look athe the Lake District as it was in 1922.

Gordon Home was an author and illustrator. He was the art editor of The Tatler and subsequently an editor at A&C Black. He regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy and he did a number of other Sketchbooks for Blacks including Yorkshire, Malta, Stratford on Avon, Winchester and York.
