Edward Ardizzone, Garden at the Red Lion, Prints by Bookroom Art Press

Description:

Lithograph – one amongst a series depicting London pubs.*

This print depicts a family on their day off enjoying the garden at their local. There’s the child at his mother’s skirts gladly sipping at the proffered glass; the father in quiet contemplation of his pint; a blue sky, a canopy of leaves…in short, perhaps, a depiction of the perfect summer afternoon?

*The Local, Maurice Gorham, Cassell and Co./Curwen Press, 1939.
