GA, you inspired me to look for a copy of this book and I found one for a good price. I also found his book about Oxford. So, now I am patiently waiting for my postman to bring them to me.

The “coronation scene” in the subway could well have been in 1937.

The first definitely looks as if it depicts a classic oriental scene. Others seem to be typical of London character portraits. A very talented artist to portray such different styles.

These pictures are at once delightful and refreshing! (From 1938?!) Pictures of the familiar but from a talented “outsider’s” point of view. Thank you for bringing them to our attention.

His other books on Oxford, The Lake District, Dublin, etc, are equally wonderful !
