School Prints - Baynard Press

This series of School Prints original lithographs was commissioned from a range of contemporary artists, with the help and guidance of Herbert Read, who was at that time a Director of George Routledge & Sons publishers and keenly interested in art education for children. They set up an advisory panel of art and educational experts of the time to help guide the project. The aim was to provide school children with access to quality contemporary works of art that were affordable enough for the schools to purchase. The School Prints were published from 1946 – 1949 and were printed by Baynard Press from plates drawn by the artists, using no more than six colours. `Each of the posters includes a border to the image that acts as a frame.
