Cecil beaton signed print

Hi I need help as I could not find one like it on the net it's limited to 10/250 also need to know the age of it thank you

 

What's the title?

 

Hi it's the house he used to live in ASHCOMBE

 

The Nicholas Vereker to be found online was born in 1954 (his antecedent namesake being 18thC). The print might not pre-date the '70s or '80s, though the original drawing could be much earlier.

 

Beaton only leased Ashcombe for fifteen years -- from 1930 until 1945 -- so most probably done during that period.

Here. It's the illustration that heads Chapter V of his book 'Ashcombe' published in 1949.

Hi thank you I did see that, I think the print was done earlier as he died in 1980

 

Thank you Debora I guess the other prints like this are in private hands it's only limited to 250

 

No way of knowing where the other 249 are but suspect they were produced for gifts rather than to be commercially sold.
