TitleEaster catalogue
DescriptionThe catalogue is a guide to Easter products with illustrated cover by Bawden and text decorated with black and white photographs. The front cover features a bell alarm clock with a sorrowful face and the words 'EASTER WILL BE HERE BEFORE YOU CAN SAY EGGS' in place of numbers. On the top are two birds holding a ringing stick. The rear cover uses the same motifs but the clock face is smiling and the text read 'FORTNUM & MASON HAVE EASTER EGGS FOR EVERYONE' and the birds are running away from the bell. Both use the same colours: turquoise, lime, white and burgundy. Lime and turquoise colour blocks are also used in the interior.
