Edward Bawden (1903-89) produced his celebrated print, Liverpool Street Station, in 1961. He knew the station well – using it regularly when travelling between London and his home in Great Bardfield, Essex.
Offered by Anderson & Garland (20% buyer’s premium) in Newcastle on May 23, this 21 x 4ft 9in (53cm x 1.45m) version of Bawden’s colour lithograph came with a bonus. Not only is it signed, inscribed with the title, numbered 35/40 and dated 1961 but it was sold together with a letter from the artist to the vendor’s father.
Writing from Brick House in Great Bardfield, Bawden comments: “Thank you for your letter & for enclosing a cheque in payment for a print. The edition is very nearly exhausted because of the publicity the print has received. All the available printed copies have been sold, but another batch is now being printed & when this laborious operation has been completed, (each copy is printed by foot!) I will send you a copy. I trust you will not mind waiting for about three weeks as the operation is not only laborious but rather slow.”
