EXHIBITION OF MARTIN AITCHISON LADYBIRD BOOK ARTWORK Ladybird books have become part of British 20th Century culture. Viewed retrospectively, they reflect a gentler and more innocent era. A whole generation of British children in the 60’s and 70’s learned about their world and learnt to read helped by these books. As a result of their nostalgic value and their artistic quality, the illustrations have become collectors’ items. The next exhibition of Martin Aitchison Ladybird artwork will place between July 2008, between 1st - 27th inclusive, at Newby Hall in North Yorkshire.
