The Whimsical World of Colin Carr - Hardcover

Colin Carr (1929 - 2002) studied at Grimsby School of Art and was the editor of Lincolnshire Life, as well as art editor of This England. A freelance artist, he specialised in book illustrations, record sleeves and greetings cards. He produced hundreds of nostalgic and humorous paintings with whimsical characters, many featuring his black cat and the local bobby. His work is featured in several public and private collections - Mrs Thatcher was said to own one - and he was once presented to the Queen and Duke of Edinburgh when one of his paintings was given to the Queen by the Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police on the official opening of the new police headquarters in Lincoln.
