Found whilst exploring under the eaves this morning.

Looking for something ( unsuccessfully) today and I came across this catalogue. I have some of his cards etc somewhere but can’t seem to find them. Anyway enjoy the whimsy of Peter Barnfield-

  1. Lovely drawings. I'm always impressed by people who can draw like that. I had a friend in the army who could whip up cartoons in minutes. Cheers Greg

    1. Me too. Two of my daughters can draw well and I am in awe of their talent.

  5. Great find. I have a selection of his cards, and some of his drawings culled from the old A.W.N.U.T.S. magazine. He also made some models of various locos in his drawings.

    1. Didn’t know he was a model maker,tell us more. AWNUTS there was a railway magazine. Sadly dumped mine when downsizing in the mid 80s, wish they were available online etc.

  6. Love it! I had never heard of him before, but I'm a big fan of whimsical art like that. Thanks for sharing it!
