The Hind's Head Hotel - advert in Wine & Food magazine, 1934 - with Curwen Press vignette block by Eric Ravilious
The advert appears in Wine & Food, the quarterly magazine edited by Andre Simon in the 1930s and that was printed by the exemplary Curwen Press, in Plaistow, London - and, in the quality of the printing and layout, it shows.
This beautifully set out advert is blessed with the first appearance of a 'stock' block of Curwen Press, worked by Eric Ravilious, the wonderful pre-war artist and designer.
The Hind's Head is still a famous destination - apparently Price Phillip's 'stag night' took place here in 1947..
