William Nicholson

1872–1949, England (London), Moderne

Gemeinsam mit seinem Schwager James Pryde erfand William Nicholson das moderne Plakat in England. Berühmt wurden seine kräftigen, flächigen Holzschnitte, die er von Hand kolorierte: „An Alphabet“ mit B wie Beggar und D wie Dandy, die „London Types“ mit Beefeater und Blumenverkäuferin und die „Twelve Portraits“ mit Queen Victoria.
