Footnote
Note: Donald Gardner, the owner of these prints was active as a designer in the advertising world through the historic years of the 1930's to the 1970's.
He became a director of Stewarts advertising agency, along with Marcus "Brum" Brumwell. Brum and his wife Rene, along with Donald, mixed in the London social world of the 1950's and 1960's and knew figures as diverse as Ernst Freud, Harold Wilson and Judi Dench.
Brum and Rene were especially friendly with the St Ives set, most notably Ben Nicolson and Barbara Hepworth. These prints are a series of intimate personal Christmas gifts to friends and colleagues. Each print was commissioned with the consent and input of the artist, may of whom were personal friends.
