Rowland Hilder: Painter and Illustrator

This is a book about an artist who conditioned his fellow-countrymen – and others – to see beauty in the frost-rimmed furrows of ploughed fields, in the gaunt tracery of leafless trees against winter skies and in the sight of a boat drawn up on estuary mud or bare shingle bank. The lover of the English scene, and of good painting, will treasure the illustrations in this volume.  Condition: Dust-jacket a little creased to edges and corners. Light creasing to top and tail of spine, otherwise very good.
