DescriptionAccomplished in pencil, ink, white-out, and paste-up elements on 13 x 20 in. artist board. A beloved and well-known image that BWS created for general use during his Gorblimey Press days. Published several times, as the frontispiece to the Gorblimey Press Catalog, and also as a fine embossed art print. The elegant piece depicts the legendary Britannia, the personification of the British Empire. With elegant line work throughout. The lion’s head and some text elements were created on a separate sheet and affixed to acetate overlay strips. The signature at lower left is a stat. A liberal use of white-out throughout. Exhibiting various marks, smudges, and handwritten notation in the borders.Social/Sharing |

Beautiful beautiful beautiful piece. And the patina and collage aspects of it only add to the charm. Congratulations on the great (British) acquisition!
