Bibliodyssey: The Crimean War

The Llangollen Canal - lithograph by John Nash from “Men & the Fields”, Adrian Bell, 1939

The 1939 book by Adrian Bell is lavishly illustrated by John Nash and includes a series of fine lithographs printed at the renowned Curwen Press in Plaistow, London.

This view of the canal is a charming scene - rumour has it that Nash was not happy with the outcome of the work at Curwen but personally I think they are very fine illustrations.

The book itself is a superb evocation of rural England before the huge changes wrought by the Second World War.
