Vivian Bewick
Leopold von Habsburg, original vintage book cover

India ink and body colour
30 x 26 cm

This work was originally a book cover design for the biography on Leopold Habsburg by the esteemed British author and biographer C.E. Vulliamy (1886–1971). It showcases the title of the work in a bold font with the Habsburg crest resplendent in gold in the background. Bewick personally wrote the medium and his address at Buckhurst Hall on the reverse of this cover, rendering it a unique piece for any collection.

Vivian Bewick (1912–1999) was a British artist and educator, notable for his contributions to mid-20th-century art and his role as a tutor at the Buckhurst Hill Community Association (BHCA). He was also a descendant of Thomas Bewick, the renowned 19th-century engraver celebrated for his depictions of birds and animals.
