About this artwork

During WWII, British artist Mervyn Peake was asked to document the activities at a glass factory in Birmingham. The fascinating process of glassmaking and the graceful movements of the glassblowers stirred his creativeness. This led him to create a set of oil paintings and sketches. This print has been skillfully color-matched to the original piece and has received endorsement from the Imperial War Museum. Your purchase helps support the museum's operations and contributions.

About the artist

Born in China in 1911, Mervyn Peake, the son of medical missionaries, was a celebrated British writer and illustrator who died in 1968. Initially, Peake pursued a career in teaching drawing at various art schools in London after studying at the Royal Academy Schools. Although already a prominent painter, it wasn't until 1939, with the release of his comic fantasy for children, Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor, that he truly made his mark as a writer and illustrator.

Peake's talent for the grotesque was truly remarkable, and this, coupled with his inclination towards Romantic elements in British art, was showcased in a wide array of visual and verbal formats. He is primarily recognised for his trilogy of novels, Titus Groan (1946), Gormenghast (1950), and Titus Alone (1959), where his imaginative drawing style perfectly complemented his grotesque Gothic fantasy. However, these books were originally published without his illustrations. Besides this trilogy, Peake also illustrated other books like Stevenson's Treasure Island (1949) and some of his own works, such as the instructional manual, The Craft of the Lead Pencil (1946).
