Description
King Penguins represent the first appearance of hardcover titles and color images in the Penguin range. Issued between 1939 and 1959, and edited after 1941 by Nikolaus Pevsner, they retained the established pocket-sized format and eventually ran to 76 volumes. This edition, no. 51 in the series, features sixteen lithographs by Edward Bawden, a student of Paul Nash and colleague of Eric Ravilious, and was printed at the Curwen Press.
