Wyndham Payne's career as an illustrator began in the early 1920s, gathering momentum with a series of book illustrations for renowned Charing Cross publisher Cyril Beaumont. Working in the tradition of Claud Lovat Fraser - and others - Payne nurtured a reputation for freedom of line, illustrating books, calendars, greetings cards and advertisements, often with toys - soldiers, model theatres, trains - as a subject. Aside from creating illustrations for the Beaumont Press, Payne was also commissioned by Oxford University Press and Hodder \u0026amp; Stoughton, among others. For The Bodley Head, he designed covers for Agatha Christie titles, whilst his celebrated jacket for \u003ci\u003eThe Wind in the Willows\u003c\/i\u003e was produced for Methuen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWyndham Payne presents a detailed survey of the artist's work: lino cuts, woodcuts, drawings in pen, watercolours, silhouette painting on glass, and later, when his health became too poor for commercial work, models - including automata - for his children and grandchildren. The book also includes a fulsome biography of the artist, covering his life and work.","brand":"Acc Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47889219223703,"sku":"9781788840651","price":1521.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781788840651.webp?v=1781175031","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/wyndham-payne-design-9781788840651","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
