The branding is consistent, there is a good use of typography and the covers are superb.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\n\nClaud Lovat Fraser - universally known as Lovat - is one of the great unsung heroes of twentieth-century British design. During his short life of just thirty-one years, five of which were disrupted by the Great War, he achieved an astonishing amount of work as draughtsman, watercolourist, caricaturist, publisher, illustrator, designer of stage-sets, toys and fabrics: he also designed silks for Liberty's, cretonnes for Foxton's, advertising material for Eno's, MacFisheries, Gurr Johns and Atkinson's, and book-jackets for Heinemann and Nelson, among others. His inimitable style and psychedelic palette became the hallmark of both the Curwen Press and the Poetry Bookshop, but he is best remembered today, by those who are aware of him at all, for his poster, costume and set-designs for Nigel Playfair's 1920 production of \u003ci\u003eThe Beggar's Opera\u003c\/i\u003e at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith.\n\nAlso available: \n\u003ci\u003eGPO\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495962 \u003ci\u003ePeter Blake\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496181 \u003ci\u003eFHK Henrion\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496327 \u003ci\u003eDavid Gentleman\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495955 \u003ci\u003eDavid Mellor\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496037 \u003ci\u003eE.McKnight Kauffer\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495207 \u003ci\u003eEdward Bawden and Eric Ravilious\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495009 \u003ci\u003eEl Lissitzky\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496198 \u003ci\u003eFestival of Britain 1951\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495337 \u003ci\u003eHarold Curwen \u0026amp; Oliver Simon: Curwen Press\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495719 \u003ci\u003eJan Le Witt and George Him\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495665 \u003ci\u003ePaul Nash and John Nash\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495191 \u003ci\u003eRodchenko\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851495917 \u003ci\u003eAbram Games\u003c\/i\u003e ISBN: 9781851496778","brand":"ACC Art Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54252642402648,"sku":"9781851496631","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781851496631.jpg?v=1764329432","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/claud-lovat-fraser","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
