Edward Bawden VIII

'Gulliver's Travels' written by Jonathan Swift (originally in 1726) is here illustrated by Edward Bawden, and published in 1965 by The Folio Society. The illustrations are sublime an absolute wonder and towards the end filled me with laughter, the expressions on the horses are just great and I love the gentle pallet of colour
