The famous BBC Handbooks were published annually from 1928 until 1987, chronicling the exciting development of radio & television broadcasting in Britain since its heyday and serving as a guide & record to the British Broadcasting Corporation's technological progression and the broadcasted programmes themselves.

Edward Bawden, (1903 –1989) was an English painter, illustrator and graphic artist, known for his prints, book covers, posters, and garden metalwork furniture. Bawden taught at the Royal College of Art, where he had been a student, worked as a commercial artist and served as a war artist in World War II. He was a fine watercolour painter but worked in many different media. He illustrated several books and painted murals in both the 1930s and 1960s. He was admired by Edward Gorey, David Gentleman and other graphic artists and his work and career is often associated with that of his contemporary Eric Ravilious.
