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. Lithograph. Printed colour. Fine condition.
