Cover Birds, by Robert Gillmor
Two Rivers Press
We are delighted to be working again with internationally acclaimed wildlife artist Robert Gillmor for Two Rivers Press.
Gillmor was already a keen bird-watcher at the age of 11 when the Reading Ornithological Club (launched in 1947) invited him to join them as a visitor; at 13 he was elected as their first junior member. He was also learning the art of lino-cutting at Leighton Park School, and the Club’s 1949 annual report bore his linocut of a Canada Goose on its first printed cover. Over sixty years on he is still producing his wonderful representations of birds for the covers, particularly the more interesting sightings of each year. This book is the story of his formative bird-watching and print-making years. Illustrated with the images from the covers themselves, it is a beguiling account of the development of both artist and bird-lover.

Robert Gillmor, one of the UK’s most prolific wildlife artists, has been commissioned by Royal Mail to produce a series of linocuts for four sets of Post & Go stamps featuring native birds of Britain.
Birds, Blocks & Stamps reproduces these prints together with Gillmor’s own account of the process by which his linocuts are made.
Visiting the artist at his Norfolk home to and seeing the studio where is all happens was the highlight of our summer.
