Keith Vaughan (1912-1977)

The present work represents a boy selling roasted chestnuts. At that time Vaughan produced a series of topographical drawings of the market at Covent Garden, depicting the people there, including fruit sellers. These were made for the first edition of Opera magazine which came out that year.

We are very grateful to Gerard Hastings for preparing this catalogue entry, whose new book on Keith Vaughan’s graphic art is to be published soon by Pagham Press in Association with the Keith Vaughan Society.
