Excellent reference,

This review is from: The Beggarstaff Posters: The Work of James Pryde and William Nicholson (Hardcover)
Just wanted to give a quick thumbs up and heartily recommend this item to anyone who was considering it's purchase. It is an excellent mix of full page, full color plates, background history, and smaller examples of the brothers work. Plus it's the only easily obtainable printed reference I know of, making it the only game in town. So just get it!

This review is from: The Beggarstaff Posters: The Work of James Pryde and William Nicholson (Hardcover)
This books deals with the revolutionary aspect of the career of Sir William Nicholson, the period in which he and his brother-in-law Jonathan Pryde produced work under the name "the Beggarstaff Brotherhood. The book is excellent and was able to find examples of the commercial work these two remarkable men produced is gratifying. The use of line and color was probably nothing short of a revelation, considering just how overblown most contemporary work was. The only flaw to this otherwise excellent book is the lack of examples of this sort thing, the better to illustrate just how revolutionary the Beggarstaff Brothers actually were. Still this is a marvelous study of two innovative and influental artists.
