Charles
Tunnicliffe Society Established 2005 "To promote greater awareness of the life and work of Charles Frederick Tunnicliffe OBE, RA 1901-1979" |
 |
It is said that Charles Tunnicliffe produced some of his finest wood
engraving work in the late 1930’s, and his scraperboard work of the
1940’s was equally as good. As a result he was invited by Frank Whitaker,
of "Country Life", to create a scraperboard illustration for the title page
of the 1949 ‘Country Life Annual’. This proved to be very successful and
Tunnicliffe’s title-page scraperboard illustrations then continued
through until 1972, with the exception of 1953 and 1971.
