One Lump or Two

One Lump or Two – the new book from the Mainstone Press – is a delightful infusion of tea, limericks and the art of Edward Bawden RA (1903-1989). In the 1930s the artist collaborated with celebrated author and epicure A.J.A. Symons to produce a series of humorous limericks for Twinings Tea. The complete set is shown here for the first time and Peyton Skipwith in his accompanying essay tells the story of this remarkable collaboration. 

In addition, Bawden's illustrations for the Empire Tea Market Board and the Tea Bureau are also included with a short tongue-in-cheek history of tea. One Lump or Two is a must for all tea enthusiasts, aficionados of 1930s advertising and admirers of that wonderfully idiosyncratic English artist Edward Bawden.
