"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

Augustus John, R.A.

Blackcap

An old friend of mine, a poet, often sends his letters prefaced by a wonderful Haiku. The imagery suggested in a recent one about a singing Blackcap, was the influence behind this engraving of the bird. Cut last week and printed yesterday in an edition of 30.
