Linley Sambourne
(1845 - 1910)
Three full page illustrations for Punch
01 Specimen
of Old Bayeux Tapestry, and an ingenious pastiche to reflect recent events
in the British Parliament. Punch October 1st 1881 p.146. p.111; measuring
18 x 24cms.
02 "Arid August", Punch September 6th 1884 p.111; measuring
18 x 24cms.
Both are astonishing compositions with a control of outline often dismissed
as hard and dry. Yet such invention, entangled elements in the composition,
and great invention of motif - verging at times on the Surreal.
03 Christmas
1884, a festive illustration
