<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RickieB, post: 284759, member: 2486&quot;]FYI...</p><p><br /></p><p>Harry Eccleston OBE, PPRE, RWS, Hon NEAC, Hon RBSA, was born in Bilston in 1923 and trained at the Birmingham School of Art. He was President of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers from 1975 to 1989. Eccleston is best-known as the designer of the bank notes issued by the Bank of England between 1958 to 1983, and as such his work will already be familiar to many. The focus and technical discipline that are required for bank note design also inform Ecclestone&#039;s evocative images of industrial Britain, such as the three prints now in the Kent Print Collection: &#039;Blast Furnace at Night&#039; (1978), &#039;Open Hearth Furnace, Bilston&#039; (1981), and &#039;Teeming&#039; (1979).</p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting stuff...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>RickieB[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
