Osbert Lancaster
Posted by Simon Lewin

Yet another exhibition that I'll be leaving until the last few days to get to see...

'Cartoons and Coronets: The Genius of Osbert Lancaster' runs until Sunday 11th January at the Wallace Collection in London.

"Sir Osbert Lancaster (1908-86, knighted 1975), cartoonist, painter,
theatre designer, architectural historian, travel writer and more, gave
the British middle classes their primary education in architecture and
a vocabulary to talk about it. He knew that if you want Brits to take a
subject seriously, you have to make it funny." Read this full review in the Independent.

Frances Lincoln Limited publish a book to accompany the exhibition.
