Born in 1903, Bawden was a precocious artist even as a teenager, attending classes at the School of Art in Cambridge aged 15 and receiving a coveted Royal Exhibition Scholarship to the RCA. After his first success in collaboration with Eric Ravilious designing the mural for the Morley Working Men’s College refectory in Lambeth in 1928, Bawden’s success continued until the late ‘30s.
Producing work for London Transport, he was made an Official War Artist in 1940. After the war, he consolidated his artistic reputation with a large body of prints, illustrations, posters, catalogues and murals and attained full RA status in 1957. After a decline in popularity, in 1989 Bawden was accorded a major retrospective at the V. and A. Museum. Though too ill to attend, he died a happy man later that same year.

About the Work
Original lithograph from the Lyons Lithographs First Series.
Designed and lithographed by Edward Bawden.
Published by J Lyons & Co Ltd and printed by Chromoworks Ltd London.
These lithographs were produced after the Second World War to improve the war weary interiors of the teashops under the influence of the directors Felix and Julian Salmon. They commissioned a series of lithographs, designed by professional artists to simply make the surroundings of the teashops more attractive. They became known as The Lyons Lithographs.
However, by deciding also to publish the prints, the Salmons were offering demonstrable support for British artists and, in turn, were consciously establishing Lyons as a corporate patron of the visual arts. Copies of the prints were made available for sale to the general public. Between 1953 and 1955 J. Lyons & Co. produced the last 12 of their lithographs for the teashops, making a total number for forty lithographs printed and published from 1946-1955. Information taken from Tea and a Slice of Art by Charles Batchelor.

Wendy
The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.

Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

Goldmark have the most astonishing range, from the very affordable to the upper echelons of the market. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really helpful. For anyone wanting to start a serious art collection within whatever budget this could be the best place to start.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.
