Lithograph after original woodcut by William Nicholson from his famous Alphabet book. Nicholson (1872 - 1949) was a printmaker years before he became known as a portrait and landscape painter. He produced posters for commercial products and theatrical events. The style of these posters - simple shapes and flat colour - became the hallmarks of Nicholson's graphic work. The Alphabet, published in 1898 firmly established him in the public's mind and brought him immediate success. Chromolithograph. Printed colour. Fine condition. Framed size: 35.5 x 41 cm Size: 19.5 x 24.5 cm. (7 x 9 inches). Presented in a black frame with conservation mount.
