Looking for a unique gift for the train enthusiast in your life? Look no further than the 1952*1st* Tony’s Railway Gift by Stanley Jackson R. B. A. (Frederick Warne & Co Ltd). This oblong hardback may have some wear to the spine, but the super images drawn by Jackson make it a must-have for any collector.
But who is this Stanley Jackson, you may ask? Well, he was a British painter and illustrator who studied at St Martin's School of Art and exhibited at prestigious institutions like the Royal Academy and the Royal Society of British Artists. He even had affiliations with the Chartered Society of Designers.
And it's not just his artistic talents that make him stand out - Jackson was also married to a professional musician and even emigrated to New Zealand before his death in 1961. So not only is this book a great addition to any collection, it also has a fascinating backstory. Check it out at Honeyburn Books (UK) today!
