Tom Browne London Parks & Paris Boulevards
Tom Browne London Parks & Paris Boulevards
Set of Four Tom Browne London & Paris Parks.
Colourful set of four chromolithographs by Tom Browne and issued by Dietrich & Co. of Brussels, all depicting early street scenes of London and Paris. Titles of the four prints, Victoria Park, Hyde Park, A Paris Boulevard I & A Paris Boulevard II, all in original oak frames. These wonderful charming studies are by British illustrator Thomas (Tom) Arthur Browne. The four pictures are showing his observations of life in London and Paris at the turn of the Twentieth century. All walks of society are depicted in these everyday life scenes from aristocratics, workers, military men, police men, entrepreneurs, middle class and children.

Browne's poster style was very much like his contemporaries, Cecil Aldin and Lance Thackeray, ideally suited to the emerging postcard publishing boom. But perhaps Browne is more famous for the strutting, monocled, top hat character he created in 1908 for the Johnny Walker Whisky Company. Browne also depicted 'Johnny Walker' playing a series of sports including golf, skating, curling, cricket, coaching and shooting.
