Ladybirds

27 May 2022

Friday morning starts with a surprise. An email from a friend tells me that an image of mine is on the letters page of the Daily Telegraph. A quick trip to the corner shop reveals that my linocut repeat pattern has been used to draw attention to two letters on the problem of aphids on roses.

The Telegraph letters page editor had located my design via Bridgeman Images. Only one pattern sheet has ever been printed and this unique item now belongs in Dongguan Art Museum, South China. Three over-printings are required to produce each Ladybird unit, but these individual images can be available now.
