§ Edward Bawden C.B.E. R.A. (British 1903-1989) 'Sahara' Wallpaper, designed 1928 lithograph after linocut, printed by the Curwen Press (70.5cm x 53cm (27.75in x 21in)) Footnote: Late in the 1920s Edward Bawden began designing wallpapers alongside the artist John Aldridge. Initially these were printed from lino blocks by the artist’s themselves, in a small studio attic room at Bawden’s home. At a later date the blocks were transferred to John Perry & Co., who produced wallpapers from them. The whole process of making the wallpaper, like an artist’s print, meant they were made in separate sheets rather than rolls.
