Reviews of Slater's Sussex on Amazon:
"Excellent survey of the artist's life and work"  "Perfect"
"A beautifully produced book about a forgotten artist now being rediscovered"

"I particularly love the full page colour reproductions of Slater's prints. Seeing them all together gives a wonderful feel for his work and of the period in which he created them. James Trollope has penned a fascinating biography of Eric Slater and also describes the Japanese technique he used. Slater's Sussex is an interesting read and I know I will pick it up to see the prints again and again." - Theatrical Eastbourne

"The first study of a British colour woodcut artist since Malcolm Salaman's William Giles as far back as 1928 ... The book includes a walk in Slater country, an explanation of the technique he used, it is generously illustrated in colour ... Slater has been fortunate to have caught the eye of James Trollope." - Modern Printmakers

"This volume adds weight to Slater as an artist, rediscovering his worth. The story of his life makes his prints somehow more complete." - Meridian Gallery

Short's Sussex - Prints & Sketches by Sir Frank Short RA

Short's Sussex
Prints & Sketches by Sir Frank Short RA


A companion volume to Slater’s Sussex, this new book features more than 40 images by Sir Frank Short, one of the 20th century’s most influential printmakers. Short’s Sussex is the same length (80 pages) as the Slater book and available now at £12 plus £2.80 postage and packing.

Like Eric Slater, Sir Frank Short (1857-1945) spent much of his later life in Seaford. After retiring in 1924 from the Royal College of Art, where he was Professor of Engraving, he produced a series of prints, watercolours and pastels of Seaford, Newhaven and the Cuckmere Valley. Short’s Sussex also includes some of his earlier images of Rye, Winchelsea and Bosham.
