Artist: ALISTAIR GRANT 

Title: 'BIRDS AND BRIDGE' (original lithograph - unframed) 

Description: Alistair Grant, RBA, ARCA (1925-1997) was born in London but as his mother was French he spent his childhood in Etaples, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, and he returned regularly to the family home there.  He taught print-making at the Royal College of Art from 1955, becoming head of the department in 1970.  He was a highly influential printmaker and his work is held by the Tate Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and extensively in the Government Art Collection.  During the 1950s and 1960s his work was shown frequently at the Zwemmer Gallery in London. He was a full member of the Royal Society of British Artists.

The present original lithograph measures about 19" x 14" image size and 24" x 19" paper size.  It has full margins and is in very good condition save for some minor creases and a small stain to the upper left corner (well outside the image).   This print is one from the Wapping to Windsor series published by the Royal College of Art in 1959 normally in an edition of 50 impressions per print.  All the prints from this series were signed by the artists in the plate, just below the image.  Thus this lithograph is not individually hand signed or numbered by the artist as none from the series were so signed.

The lithograph is printed on good quality paper with the impressed watermark RCA (Royal College of Art).  Another impression of this print was acquired for the Government Art Collection from Editions Alecto in 1963...
