John Minton : Time Was Away
One of John Minton’s most iconic dust jacket designs for: Time was Away - A Notebook in Corsica. As Martin Salisbury notes in our book on the artist… “One of the most significant illustrated books of the twentieth century, this was the result of John Lehmann's liberated approach to commissioning. He was keen to publish a travel book and did so simply by pairing Ross and Minton and sending writer and illustrator to Corsica with instructions along the lines of 'come back with a book'. Minton's 3-colour dust-jacket design perfectly evokes the languor and heat of the island.”
