Edward Bawden

Edward Bawden’s illustrations are so ‘New Elizabethan’ (was it Ronald Searle who coined that term for the 1950s? I’m not sure). It’s hearteningly ‘Merrie Olde England(e)’. Here are some labels for beer bottles he designed in 1952. All very resonant (especially the one on the left, I think).
