Carols Dorothy Chapman Christmas is a good excuse to post this brilliant 1940s card from one of my favorite illustrators. She illustrated two books for the Baby Puffin series, as well as a clutch of books for Noel Carrington’s Transatlantic Arts. Fantastic! #dorothychapman #carols https://www.instagram.com/p/BrffihUgmcW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=129go6lob7f1c

Carols Dorothy Chapman A contender for my favourite top 10 Xmas cards. Illustrated by Dorothy Chapman for Royle Publications c1945 and commissioned by Noel Carrington. She also illustrated the two Baby Puffins, 123 & ABC, as well as a handful of books for Transatlantic Arts. I wish I knew more about her! #dorothychapman #carols #noelcarrington #roylepublications #lithography

They all stayed up Dorothy Chapman Spread from The Land of Snow, a Bantam Picture Book from 1943, a small format stapled series of the most beautifully lithographed books. They were the brainchild of Noel Carrington who commissioned a number of his Puffin artist to also work in these. I'm re-publishing two of Hilary Stebbing's Bantams in March. #thelandofsnow #dorothychapman #ice #uplate #bantampicturebook #noelcarrington #puffinpicturebook

The Land of Snow Dorothy Chapman A little snip from her 1944 Bantam Picture Book, lithographed for Noel Carrington's Transatlantic Arts, his wartime publishing enterprise. She also illustrated a companion title, The Land of Sun, but that'll have to wait a little for warmer times before I post a snip. #dorothychapman #thelandofsnow #bantampicturebook #noelcarrington

Jumping through hoops Dorothy Chapman Circus themed Xmas card from c1947. I'm a huge fan of her work, she illustrated 6 of the most gorgeous lithographed books during WW2, then seems to have completely vanished. I need to hire one of those detectives! #circus #xmascard #dorothychapman #babypuffinbook #noelcarrington

Shhhhh! Dorothy Chapman Xmas card commissioned by Noel Carrington for Royle Publications c1946. The Royle Greetings cards were exhibited at the Britain Can Make It Exhibition as exemplars of modern design. In the 1960s they boasted that there wasn't a mantelpiece in the country that didn't feature a Royle card at Xmas, probably at least one by Badmin. #dorothychapman #roylegreetingscards #noelcarrington #britaincanmakeit
