One Lump or Two - Tea, Twinings & Edward Bawden, with Limericks by A.J.A. Symons
Essay by Peyton Skipwith
One Lump or Two is a celebration of Tea, Twinings & the art of Edward Bawden RA (1903 - 1989). In the 1930s the artist collaborated with author A.J.A. Symons to produce a series of humorous limericks for Twinings Tea. The complete set is shown in this book for the first time and Peyton Skipwith in his accompanying essay tells the story of this remarkable collaboration. In addistion, Bawden's illustrations for the Empire Tea Market Expansion Board and the Tea Bureau are also included, along with a short history of tea.
One Lump or Two is a must for all tea enthusiasts and admirers of the wonderfully idiosyncratic English Artist Edward Bawden.
