About the Item
The Swallowtail butterfly is the largest butterfly in the UK and a prized inhabitant of the Norfolk Broads – its only established UK home. Its survival has been enabled by an active management of the fen landscape, where reed and sedge are cut to allow other plants to grow in particular the milk parsley, where the butterfly lays its eggs on the tallest plants.
On a windless day between late May and mid-July, and with a bit of luck you will spot one of these rare British insects.
Guy Allen’s etchings inspired by the fauna of Norfolk have a remarkable level of detail. His etchings capture the character and spirit of his subjects.

Guy Allen
Guy Allen is an experimental printmaker, exceptional draftsman and highly talented young British artist. Working hard between his studios in London and Norfolk, Guy’s trademark experimental approach to printmaking presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings.Studying at Central St Martins from 2008 – 2011 Guy discovered the printing press on a trip to the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Finding an art form that lent itself so perfectly to his artistic aspirations was a revelation. He has never looked back. Growing up in Norfolk, the countryside and his love of animals have had a lasting impact on Guy’s work. Regularly returning to his Norfolk roots to gather his thoughts and inspiration, his subjects are drawn directly from the Norfolk countryside and are all native species to the land he has known since childhood. This inspiration and drive to create is fuelled ever further by Guy’s love of the printing press. With distinctive style, striking ability and total commitment Guy has mastered his printing-making techniques. Constantly exploring the infinite possibilities and opportunities the medium offers, he breathes new life into traditional techniques and subject matter. Guy also has a huge philanthropic interest and supports many arts charities each year including Art For Youth, EACH, Keeping A Breast, Art For Cure and Well Child.
