John Austen (1886 - 1948) has been described as a book ‘decorator’ rather than illustrator - his early work is reminiscent of Beardsley, & he was a contemporary of Harry Clarke with whose works there are similarities.

Where possible, we also include a sheet with information about the print. PLEASE NOTE THAT FROM JULY 1ST, WE WILL NO LONGER SHIP TO GERMANY.
