Bawden (Edward) A scrapbook of costume and fashion designs inscribed 'E. Bawden 1924' to front free endpapers and with Bawden's bookplate to pastedown, with approximately 120 original drawings, ranging from the medieval period to 19th century, covering English and French fashion of both male and female dress, c.60pp. excluding blanks, watercolour, pen and ink, and pencil, various sizes pasted down or tipped in to c.60pp album leaves, some loosely inserted, each leaf c.340 x 250mm (c.13 1/4 x 10 in), captions and annotations in pencil manuscript, some pages toned, original half morocco, rather rubbed, joints splitting, tall 8vo, 1924.⁂ A superb example of Bawden's early work at the beginning stages of his career . Here, aged just 19 years old, Bawden evidences an early and remarkable drawing aptitude in one of his signature scrapbooks - an aptitude which prompted Paul Nash, his teacher at the Royal College of art, to describe him as "an extraordinary outbreak of talent". Similar scrapbooks compiled later in his career are housed at the Fry Art Gallery in Essex, where Bawden was raised.
