About this work

Gordon Baldwin contributed this drawing to the V&A’s 150th birthday album. In 2007, the museum invited 150 artists to share what inspires them. Artists could use any style or medium to respond to the prompt. It’s a single page in a special album, not a big wall piece. The drawing stands out because it was made just for this anniversary. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
