Sir Osbert Lancaster
(1908-1986) was a great British humorist, an authority on
architecture and design, a painter, writer, poet and theatre
designer. His pocket cartoons appeared in the Daily Express for over
40 years. He wrote a string of books on architecture, design and
English life, as well as travelogues on Greece and the Eastern
Mediterranean. His theatre work included stage design and costumes
for Covent Garden, Glyndebourne and Sadlers Wells. This anthology of
his work draws on excerpts from many of his books as well as theatre
designs, posters, paintings, book jackets and a selection of
caricatures.
