Here we have two items relating to the late Sir Cecil Beaton, a multi talented man who was a celebrated photographer, author, diarist and set designer, to name but a few of his accomplishments.

Woodblock Wonders A visual history of 200 Japanese masterpieces From Edouard Manet’s portrait of naturalist writer Émile Zola sitting among his Japanese art finds to Van Gogh’s meticulous copies of the Hiroshige prints he devotedly collected, 19th-century pioneers of European modernism made no secret of their love of Japanese art.
