The late wildlife artist Robert Gillmor relocated to Norfolk more than 20 years ago, and the county was a major source of inspiration for the hundreds of linocuts created since 1998. It became clear from this last book of his work that the close proximity to key birdwatching sites and bewitching locations enabled him to expand greatly his repertoire of prints, book jackets and even stamp designs.
After the artist’s earlier book, Cutting Away, was published in 2006, he stepped up his linocut output, and some 160 are reproduced in this volume. The productive period not only saw him illustrate another 37 New Naturalist covers, create more than 30 prints destined for gallery sale, and produce designs for 46 Royal Mail Post & Go stamps, but also saw him receive the MBE for services to wildlife art.
