William "Bill" Papas (1927 - 2000) A Special Night in Manchester Original Lithograph, 1968 45 x 28 cm Signed lower right in the plate. A print of Papas' famous cartoon depicting a night of football-induced revelry after Manchester United defeated Benfica in the 1968 European Cup. William Papas was one of the twentieth century's most celebrated editorial cartoonists. He was a political cartoonist and caricaturist, book author and illustrator, and watercolourist. In the 1960s and 1970s he worked for The Guardian, The Sunday Times, and Punch. He was born in South Africa and he ran away from home aged fifteen to join the South African Air Force. He later studied art at Johannesburg Art School, then at Beckenham School of Art in Kent, and at Central St Martin's in London. His first published cartoon appeared in the Cape Times in 1951. In 1959 he settled in Kent and joined the staff of The Guardian, taking over from David Low as political cartoonist in 1963. Between 1964 and 1972 he also produced cartoons for the Sunday Times and Punch. In this period also began his association with Oxford University Press, writing and illustrating books for both children and adults. In 1984 he moved to Orion, continuing to paint and illustrate, and running his own art gallery. He drew evocative series of pen-and-ink and watercolour pictures of American cities, which were later published as 'Papas' America' and 'Papas' Portland'.

Walter Hoyle (1922 - 2000) Rugby School Linocut 62 x 46 cm Signed, titled, and inscribed A/P in pencil. Possibly unique. Hoyle's view of Rugby School. The school's architecture is depicted in shades of blue and grey, with an orange patch of sun in the cloudy sky above. A green lawn peeks out from between the buildings, which lean gently away from one another. Hoyle trained at Beckenham School of Art and the Royal College of Art. At the latter he was strongly influenced by Edward Bawden, one of Britain’s greatest linocut printers. Bawden had been commissioned by the 1951 Festival of Britain to produce a mural for the South Bank, and chose Hoyle to assist on account of his great talent. Hoyle moved to Great Bardfield in Essex, becoming a part of the Great Bardfield group of artists; diverse in style, they created figurative work, in stark contrast to the abstract art of the St Ives artists at the opposite end of the country. Hoyle taught at St Martin’s School of Art from 1951-60, the Central School of Arts and Crafts from 1960-64, and the Cambridge School of Art from 1964...
