Artist: Valerie Osment Design: Travels with Edward About the artist Valerie Osment is a professional visual artist based in Essex whose work has painting and illustration at its core. With a BA Hons in Graphic Design and Illustration, she exploits multiple media and visual art forms to create work in 2D or 3D form. About the design ‘Travel’s with Edward’ is inspired by Edward Stanfords ‘Library Map of London’ published in 1862 and recognised as the first accurate map of London ever produced. The design concept is based upon an artistic Victorian traveller who, arriving in London, has a copy in hand of Stanford’s newly published 1862 London map to help guide them across the city. Armed with their trusty sketchbook, they seek out various locations and famous destinations, recording their visit by creating paintings & sketches of the 1862 London landmarks, its sights, sounds and skyline discovered. As they go they ‘tear’ off’ the relevant map section to ‘stick’ on the page next to the image, adding an interesting historical fact scribed in fountain pen. The bus’ design shows a multiple of differently sized opened page antique-looking sketchbooks. Each portrays a section from Stanfords original 1862 map and an image relating to that location. On the front of the bus a fictional newspaper announces the ‘Stop Press’ news about this wonderful new map just published. The back of the bus displays the traveller’s sketchbook cover entitled ‘London Sketches A to Z, 1862’. Featured on the roof are further open sketchbook pages including one for the ‘Adelphi Theatre (providing the ‘A’) and another for London Zoo (for the ‘Z’) as well as a decorative poster-like piece that has a quote from the Royal Geographical Society who at that time hailed the map as ‘the most perfect map of London ever issued’. Location: Long Acre Trail: Around Westminster Dimensions: Length- 2.4m Width 0.5m Height- 0.95m
