Horse Drawn John Nash Lithographed at the Curwen Press in 1939 for Adrian Bell's Men and the Fields. My grandparents lived near the Grand Union Canal and I can just about remember seeing the horse drawn barges, not as grand a boat as this though. #johnnash #curwenpress #stonelithography #menandthefields #barges #grandunioncanal #horses

Men & The Fields John Nash Lithographed dustwrapper from Adrian Bell's 1939 book. Published just before the outbreak of WW2 and contrasts well with Ravilious' Country Life Calendar, both printed at the Curwen Press, each celebrating a way of life threatened by war and future invasion. #johnnash #harvesting #curwenpress #stonelithography #recordingbritain #menandthefields

Harvesting John Nash a subject matter that Nash returned to several times. It’s that time of year when the fields glow with golden warmth, and still light enough for long evening walks. This is taken from his 1939 illustrations for Adrian Bell’s Men and The Fields, lithographed at the Curwen Press. #johnnash #autolithography #curwenpress #menandthefields #harvesting #cornfield
