{"product_id":"sketchbook-banners-edward-burne-jones","title":"Sketchbook (Banners) - Edward Burne-Jones","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed print of the cloth-bound cover of an Edward Burne-Jones sketchbook, labelled Banners, capturing the tactile history of the artist's studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis image depicts the exterior cover of a cloth-bound sketchbook belonging to the British artist Edward Burne-Jones. The cover features the word BANNERS written in a simple, hand-drawn script at the top, alongside a small, affixed paper label bearing the number 67. The texture of the binding is visible, showing the weave of the fabric and the subtle variations in its light brown, earthy tone. The spine is visible on the left side, indicating the construction of the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurne-Jones, a central figure in the later Pre-Raphaelite circle, often utilised sketchbooks to record ideas for his larger compositions, including designs for stained glass, tapestries, and ecclesiastical banners. The utilitarian nature of this object provides a glimpse into the working methods of a Victorian artist. Rather than a finished work intended for public display, this is a functional tool of the studio. The simplicity of the cover contrasts with the highly decorative and mythological subjects often associated with his finished paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the tactile quality of the original object, preserving the marks of age and use. It appeals to those interested in the history of art production and the physical remnants of the creative process. The muted colour palette and the honest, unadorned surface reflect the aesthetic values of the Arts and Crafts movement, which prioritised the integrity of materials and the visibility of the maker's hand. By documenting the mundane aspects of studio life, this image offers a perspective on the discipline required to produce the complex, multi-layered works for which Burne-Jones is known. It serves as a quiet record of an artist's daily practice, documenting the organisation of ideas that would eventually manifest in more elaborate forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/questionnaire-for-the-biographical-dictionary-of-artists-wouter-verschuur\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eQuestionnaire for the Biographical Dictionary of Artists - Wouter Verschuur by Wouterus Verschuur\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/announcement-of-the-establishment-of-a-lending-library-by-thomas-cubitt-george-barclay\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAnnouncement of the Establishment of a Lending Library by Thomas Cubitt by George Barclay\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/edward-burne-jones\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eEdward Burne-Jones artwork →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edward Burne-Jones","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186961613135,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186973376847,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186973409615,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186973442383,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59186973475151,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Sketchbook-Banners-_Poster_CompositorV1_1792126110354.jpg?v=1792400586","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/sketchbook-banners-edward-burne-jones","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
