Art Direction: Matt Hocking- Leap

Hand lettered piece based on the John Betjeman’s 1974 poem Delectable Duchy

The golden unpeopled bays

The shadowy cliffs and sheep-worn ways

The white unpopulated surf

The thyme and mushroom scented surf

The slate-hung farms, the oil-lit chapels

Thin elms and lemon-coloured apples.
