A Country ABC Clarke Hutton A large format ABC, lithographed at the Chiswick Press c1942 and published by Chatto, although a smaller format version was also published in the USA by the OUP in 1946. Clarke Hutton is an underrated figure, head of lithography at the Central for several decades and was the conduit for many students passing into the commercial world of illustration for publishers such as Puffin. The lithos are printed on one side only, and sadly this book is often broken up for the plates. #clarkehutton #abc #acountryalphabet #centralschoolofartanddesign #stonelithography #chiswickpress https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsz2JI4gjRZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1y60p8rslu92

Battle of Hastings Clarke Hutton Detail from a Picture History of Britain, drawn direct to the lithographic plates and printed by Cowell’s in Ipswich. Clarke Hutton was head of lithography at The Central School of Art from the 30s through to his retirement in the 1960s and so many illustrators of that generation owed a huge debt to him. #battleofhastings @emmalewis88 #clarkehutton #autolithography #centralschoolofartanddesign #OUP https://www.instagram.com/p/BqUZf-RA0ep/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uyjl29u86pcp

Oh dear, my poor pretty nose! Punch & Judy Clarke Hutton a detail from his Puffin Picture Book. In his early career he worked in the theatre, painting scenery and developed a lifelong passion for the toy theatre, puppets, nursery rhymes, and the more macabre the better. When he drew this and his Puffin on Nursery Rhymes they were never reprinted, Allen Lane, Penguin’s owner, considering them too dark and unsuitable for children. #punch&judy #puppets #toytheatre @benjamin_pollocks_toyshop #clarkehutton #harlequinade #puffinpicturebook #lithography

Concrete, Steel and Glass Clarke Hutton a lithographed vignette from his 1945 A Picture History of Britain, published for the OUP. An underrated lithographer, perhaps because his work in illustration was prolific and not a Gallery exhibitor. As head of lithography at the Central he influenced a generation of illustrators. #clarkehutton #modernism #midcenturymodern #lithography #modernsrchitecture #waltergropius #centralschoolofartanddesign
