Design for page ornament made for the Curwen Press is a 1950 by Claud Lovat Fraser, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This drawing shows a simple black-and-white design of a boat floating on wavy lines. Inside the boat, a few small shapes look like people sitting in rows. The whole scene is enclosed in a thick, uneven border that frames it like a stamp or a label. The artist used only black ink on a light background, with no shading or color. The lines are bold but a little rough, giving it a hand-drawn feel. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching next.
