Nympheus Teal/Green

G P & J Baker

“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.”
