Julian Francis' book contains a wealth of images which illustrate the breadth of Herry Perry's talents and skills and which cannot be found easily anywhere else. For example, in the 1950s she was commissioned to design and paint pub signs for Barclay's brewery in London and for Friary Mieux in Guildford. The art of often short-lived, hand-painted pub signs is a dying one as this article, which includes a Herry Perry pub sign, makes clear. Fortunately, the book has many examples of her colourful, clever, eye-catching designs, such as this preparatory drawing.
