Anton recently visited London Transport Museum Acton Depot with the Friends of Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft.
(Note this was where Cliff Richard started his ‘Summer Holiday’!)
We were give the excellent tour : ‘The Johnston Journey’ – tracing the amazing lettering legacy that so many come to Ditchling in search of.
We were also shown posters and originals of Anton’s great-grandfather E.A.Cox:
Cox was Frank Brangwyn’s first apprentice and the father of the first wife of Dunstan Pruden (the silversmith), Anne Cox.
He is well know for series of wonderful character studies around London for posters advertising London Transport.
Here Anton admires an original oil painting he had not seen before.
