About this Item

undated, a "mock-up" of a proposed book in watercolour measuring 7" wide and 5" high, made up like a book with 32 pages including covers, in finished artwork quality, of which 12 pages are painted (including the front cover), the others still blank - I can find no record of the book being published, but on the back is written in pencil (I believe by the artist) "Geoffrey Whittam, LCC School of Arts & Crafts" suggesting it may have been done in the late 1940s when he was studying art, perhaps as a pitch to a publisher, a delightful item.
