The Royal Academy shop has a range of items based on designs by
Edward Bawden
including a rather nice book, which includes this
watercolour of trees, from his trip to the Canadian Rockies in 1949 (exhibited in London in 1951):
Bawden was a prolific designer and artist, friends with
Eric Ravilious; I get confused, their styles are similar. The Imperial War Museum had an exhibition of Ravilious's work in 2004 (he was a war artist, on submarines) - you can still visit that exhibition online: click
here.
Ravilious designed this coronation mug for Wedgwood - first for Edward VIII in 1936, then altered it for George VI in 1937 - and it was issued again in 1953.
