We are all artists as children, painting and drawing each day. Most of us stop when we get older – but David Gentleman kept going. For over 90 years he has been drawing, painting, engraving and printing, rising to become one of Britain’s best-known and most loved artists. His watercolours have filled galleries; his iconic wood cuts are emblazoned across posters, book jackets and train stations; his stamps have made their way to the furthest corners of the world. Here, the great, polymathic artist and craftsman shares what he has learned over the course of a lifetime of making and thinking about art.

Author Matthew Zucker has spent decades curating the most extensive collection of nature prints ever assembled, with more than 13,000 images across 120 rare and seminal works, including journals, published books, unique manuscripts, American currency, and instructional texts related to nature printing from 1733 to 1902.

On a warm Friday night in 1732, a rowdy group of friends set out from a pub. They are beginning a ‘peregrination’ that will take them through the scurrilous streets of Georgian London and down the Thames as far as the Isle of Sheppey. And among them is an up-and-coming engraver and painter, just beginning to make a name for himself: William Hogarth. Hogarth’s work has come to define early-Georgian Britain; and it speaks to us with equal relevance today. Jacqueline Riding brings the artist – and his world – to vivid and detailed life.
