The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

Rude Britannia, British Comic Art

‘Rude Britannia’, an exhibition hosted by Tate Britain, was put together with some of Britain’s best-known cartoonists and comedy-writers to celebrate a rich history of cartooning and visual jokes.

The exhibition explores British comic art from the 1600’s to the present day and brings together a wide array of paintings, sculptures, film and photography, as well as graphic art and comic books.

 

Looking at comedy that is both timeless and of-its-time, Rude Britannia contrasts contemporary artists  with key historical pieces, and covers everything from Hogarth to the YBAs.
