Eric Fraser

Eric Fraser (1902-1983) made a major contribution to the art of illustration. From the age of eighteen until shortly before his death he did little else except draw, and his work was sought after by an international range of clients.His early talent quickly settled into a uniquely personal and professional style, which he applied equally successfully to postage stamps and to murals. He is most widely known for his drawings in Radio Times, which appeared regularly from 1926 to 1982.This is the first full-length publication on the work of Eric Fraser, and illustrates the entire range of his output: drawings, prints and covers for Radio Times; cartoons and caricatures, including a number for Punch; designs for stamps, posters, Christmas cards, book jackets and stained glass.
