Hugh Evelyn Prints published between 1957 and 1972. Superbly drawn, richly printed colour plates in portfolio collections. The concept arose from Hugh’s admiration for the engravers of the 1700’s. Had they lived in the 1900’s he believed they would have exploited those areas of detail and decoration the camera overlooks. He once saw a drawing of a railway engine on an artist’s desk – simple but expressive, detailed but decorative – precisely the concept he sought.  It was an experiment in lithography. Our prints combine artists with specialised knowledge of their subjects with sensitive use of line enclosing colour best reproduced by lithography – images unencumbered with blurry backgrounds or distracting paraphernalia. Hugh died in 2007.

You may find that Hugh Evelyn Prints are available on other websites like eBay, Etsy, and the like or are for sale by various auctioneers and other sellers. These are usually prints that have been removed from old books that we published over 50 years ago or were purchased as prints from our shop in London (which closed in 1972) or from other outlets years ago. We sell clean, original lithographs produced by us between 1958 and 1972. Most of these remain protected under copyright law.
