Slightly better than very good condition.
The Ashington Group began in the early 1930s as an evening class of Northumberland pitmen keen to learn about art. Within weeks they were producing their own work and within a few years their paintings amounted to a complete record of life in a mining community. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w photos and illustrations, some colour illustrations. 176 pages including index. ISBN: 0904790819. A very nice copy.
