Hardback, ÂŁ35.00 August 2016

Approximately 200 photographs focus on the great faces that drew in moviegoers around the world by their millions. The allure of Chaplin, Mary Pickford, Gloria Swanson and other luminaries of early silent film remains strong even today. Garbo and Crawford, who rose to even greater cinematic heights when the movies began to speak, are featured in a series of images showing how those two stars were transformed into thrilling exemplars of 1930s glamour. All-American men such as Gary Cooper and Clark Gable shared the screen with sirens such as Marlene Dietrich and Hedy Lamarr, who began acting in Europe and found lasting fame in Hollywood.

Legends such as Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were prominent among the stars, along with Marlon Brando, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly.

A travelling exhibition in North and South America, Europe and Asia will show both the sweep of glamour photography as well as the unique style of each of the leading camera artists.

"I was walking up the Miami Beach boardwalk to the Fontainebleau Hotel where Sinatra was staying... I just reached out with the letter in my hand and he took it. He opened it, read it... turned to his security men and said, "this kid's with me." I never found out what Ava said to him in that letter.

From that moment on, I was part of his inner circle." - Terry O'Neill From The Beatles to the Rolling Stones, Terry O'Neill fast became the photographer of the 1960s.

The Natural History of Edward Lear ISBN: 9781851498307 254 x 177 mm 288pp., col.

Hardback, ÂŁ27.99 September 2016

Before he became celebrated as the writer and illustrator of nonsense poetry, Edward Lear was a prolific painter of natural history subjects who earned near-universal praise for the accuracy, originality and elegant style of his animated depictions of birds and other wildlife. His best remembered scientific contribution is his magnificent monograph on parrots, the first English natural history book to focus on a single family of birds, which he began to publish when he was just 18. His depictions of "species hitherto unfigured" of that gaudy group of birds dazzled the world and established Lear as the artist of choice for many of the leading ornithological publishers. In that golden age of colour-plate books, an era still celebrated for the great volumes created by John James Audubon and John Gould, Lear created some of the most spectacular natural history illustrations ever published. He did so without the benefit of any formal training in art, and with neither independent funding nor institutional support. The original watercolours for his scientific paintings - many reproduced here for the first time - confirm Lear's place among the greatest natural history painters of all time.

Enid Marx Design ISBN: 9781851497522 214 x 140 mm 96pp, 150 col.

Hardback, ÂŁ14.95 Enid Marx: Design is a completely new collection of the printed and woven textile design patterns of Enid Marx (1902-1998), encompassing examples of her work for the London Underground, Royal Mail and Chatto & Windus Publishers; extraordinarily versatile and prolific, she became uniquely defined as a pattern maker, using textiles, paper and plastic in a way that was completely original, and while centred in the times that she was living and working, her designs enjoyed an amazing longevity of mass appeal. She was equally at home wood engraving or drawing for print making, end papers, book jackets, book illustrations and for stamp design.

John Piper Design ISBN: 9781851497287 214 x 140 mm 96pp, 100 col, 20 b&w Hardback, £14.95 A pioneer of non-representational art in Britain, John Piper (1903-92) was one of the most diverse designers of his generation. Much of his design work – particularly for the theatre, murals, mosaics, textiles and tapestries – was graphics based. However, Piper also entered into rewarding partnerships with Patrick Reyntiens, David Wasley and Joseph Nuttgens designing stained glass; with Geoffrey Eastop in ceramics; and, most explosively of all, with Ron Lancaster and John Deeker, for some of the greatest pyrotechnic displays that Britain has witnessed since the 18th century.

Bawden Design ISBN: 9781851498390 214 x 140 mm 96pp, 100 col., 20 b&w Hardback, £14.95 October 2016 An excellent introduction to the work of Edward Bawden (1903-1989). This fascinating book illustrates every aspect of his creativity, featuring designs for wallpaper, posters, book jackets and trade cards to name but a few.

Edward Bawden’s influence on 20thcentury illustration and design is incalculable and his graphic work is perhaps quintessentially English. There are traces of early influence: Beardsley, Lear, ‘Dicky’ Doyle and Paul Nash, but ultimately Bawden’s was a distinctive voice, which emerged from the shy, wry observation of the everyday life of his time.
