I now find myself proud custodian of artist S R Badmin’s paint box ☺️

25-years ago I bought this at a fleamarket in Fakenham. Sold as a print, it's really a little pen & ink sketch by Edward Ardizonne of Mr & Mrs Crumles & The Infant Phenomenon from 'Nicholas Nickleby.' Ardizzone designed the poster for the 1947 Ealing film. It cost me 25 pence.

We can only look on as the decline is ignored and our offer to purchase rejected
