Tyger G P & J Baker Crayford Prints Collection

Crayford Prints Collection

“The wonderfully diverse treasures of the GP & J Baker archive have provided inspiration for this exceptional collection. These unique historical documents have been given a fresh interpretation resulting in a dazzling array of papers in widely differing scales. The new palette continues to add to its rich narrative with the introduction of a strong yellow and handsome mid-indigo, whilst patinated tones and raised textures suggest the charm of antique hand blocking.”

Tyger Bamboo Bird från G P & J Baker

Bamboo Bird

“The idea for this pattern derives from an eighteenth-century hand- painted Indian palampore (cotton hanging) in the Victoria and Albert Museum. This was reproduced as Plate 11 in George Percival Baker's lavish 1921 publication Calico Painting and Printing in the East Indies. It must have been a particular favourite with George Percival, as his own extensive collection did not contain a 'transitional' pattern of this nature. Thus it is not surprising that the designer Burn was asked in 1915 to adapt the main motifs and arrangement of the palampore into a block print which was called 'Indian Bamboo'. Burn was faced with the task of reducing a large painterly panel composition into a repeating pattern, and he chose to give the design more symmetry in keeping with the repeat size. Amazingly, it preserves all the flavour of the Indian original.”

Tyger Imperial Pheasant från G P & J Baker

Imperial Pheasant

Gardintyger, Linnetyger, Möbeltyger

“This pattern is from a design by Sidney G. Mawson for a G P & J Baker hand-block print first produced in 1915. Mawson (1849-1941) was an important Arts and Crafts designer known for his dense compositions of naturalistic flowers in bright colours. Here the designer has selected birds and flowers to portray the contrasting aspects of love and nature. From the proud strutting love of the pheasant to the devotion of the turtle dove; and from the love of nature symbolised by the magnolia to the dark side of nature represented by the poisonous oleander. It originally required 72 blocks to print. Demand eventually led to eight different colourings being developed, including the purple and black grounds of the era.”

Tyger Nympheus från G P & J Baker

Nympheus

Gardintyger, Linnetyger, Möbeltyger

“William Turner's designs for G P & J Baker in 1915 adopted a Chinese theme as the artist increasingly spent time studying collections at the British Museum. 'Nympheus' is based upon a Ming dynasty painted scroll that had been acquired by the museum a couple of years earlier. It is a genre picture of the Pi-ling school that depicts a pair of kingfishers flying above an egret who shelters beneath drooping lotus leaves. From its first issue, 'Nympheus' has remained available as a hand-block print, but since 1977, a screen print version has also been offered; the design remains an all-time favourite.”

Tyger Persian Pomegranate från G P & J Baker

Persian Pomegranate

Gardintyger, Linnetyger, Möbeltyger

“This pattern is taken from a design by the Haward Studio purchased for 24 guineas in March 1931. Sidney Haward trained at the Silver Studio and later set up on his own in Kensington, becoming one of the leading London design studios serving clients such as Liberty, Story's, Hamptons and other top furnishing emporiums. Taking as its principal theme the flowering branch and butterfly of Chinese hand-painted wallpaper, Persian elements have been added such as the erstwhile nightingale, pomegranate, and banded stems. Originally designed for printing by surface roller in twelve colours, the separation of colour is kept simple and well-defined. Surface roller printing, widely used in the 1920s and 30s, required complex machines with wooden rollers to give an effect of hand-block printing. The pattern was fashioned in copper strip and felt, requiring months of labour to complete. The rollers for this design cost £117 in 1931 (equivalent to about £3000 today). It was a best-seller, outlasting other designs of the same year, and remaining in print until the end of the decade.”

Tyger Pertelote från G P & J Baker

“Originally known as "Chanticleer", this pattern was designed by the Haward studio in 1917. The process of cutting and coppering the 160 blocks needed for printing this nineteen-colour pattern took nearly a year to complete at a cost of £230 (over £6000 in today's money). The pattern was first printed for W. & J. Sloane of New York. Founded by Scottish emigrants in the mid-1900s, by the end of the century Sloane's was setting the taste for the U.S., with such decorating commissions as Vanderbilt's Newport mansion "The Breakers", and the White House in Washington D.C. G P & J Baker revived the pattern in 1971, updating it by leaving out the strong outline block to give a fresher appearance emphasising the jewel-like colours.”

Tyger Tree Peony från G P & J Baker

Tree Peony

Gardintyger, Möbeltyger

“This pattern traces its origin to a block print design of 1917 by William Turner that featured crows. Painted in wartime, this probably referred to the ravens in the Tower of London said to have the power to protect the fortunes of Britain. Later on, however, the crows were felt to be too dark a subject, and the print was revived in 1957 in a version without the black-feathered birds. This later version continues to be a favourite with designers for its adaptability to colouring.”
