Robert Parkinson
Exeter College Chapel from Broad Street (1964)
Lithograph 33 x 46 cm A lithograph of Exeter's chapel, viewed from Broad Street, from a drawing by Robert Parkinson. Parkinson's depiction of the chapel centres around its architecture; markedly inspired by the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the chapel was built between 1856 and 1860. Here, Parkinson has its spire reach upward into a blank sky. Parkinson's 1962 etching was reproduced as a lithograph in 1964, to be published in the "Oxford Almanack". The Oxford Almanack was an annual almanac published by the Oxford University Press for the University of Oxford from 1674 through 2019 (when printing sadly ceased due to "dwindling interest"). The almanac traditionally included engravings or lithographs of the University and information about the upcoming year. Other almanac artists have included James Basire, Michael Burghers, J. M. W. Turner, and John Piper. Condition: very good, save for crease to top left corner (tear to margin which will be hidden under the mount).

Brownbridge (flourished 1930s - 1940s)
Boat Race at the Dorchester (1939)
Lithographic brochure 15 x 19.5 cm From a small archive of works by Brownbridge, a member of the Society of Industrial Artists. A design for a poster advertising the Dorchester's dinner after the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. The artist has built his design around dark and light blues, to represent the colours of Oxford and Cambridge respectively. Brownbridge's design is marvellously 1930s, from the boldly decorative typeface to the whimsically glamorous guests and their waiters floating below the invitation. Boat Race dinners in London are rather different today; at any rate, prices are not normally advertised as 'excluding Wines and Cigars'. Society of Industrial Artists correspondance (photographed above) is not included; please enquire separately. Condition: generally very good.
