British Empire Map
Signed original colour lithograph.
Printed at the Curwen Studio in an edition of 100.
The Wolfsonian Collection is at Florida International University, Miami Beach.
It contains a variety of artifacts primarily of North American and European origin.
During 1984 it was decided to hold an exhibition the following year to be called 'Style of Empire - 1877 - 1947' and Bawden was commissioned to provide a mural which was painted on panels in Saffron Walden with the assistance of his grandson, Tommy. It took the form of a map showing the British Empire as it was in the 1930s.
When it was seen by the organisers, they asked Bawden to provide a print of the same subject for each of the guests at a banquet for the opening of the exhibition in February 1985.
Bawden drew the map on half-matt plastic and oversaw its printing lithographically at the Curwen Studio.
Bears the blindstamp from the Archive of Stanley Jones.
