J. Pitts

J. Pitts spent years carving decorative prints for London’s tea rooms—tiny, ornate pictures of cats in waistcoats or teapots wearing flowers. Every line was hand-cut into wood, then inked and pressed like a secret message. You’ll spot their style in the crowded corners of old menus at the British Museum: little stories tucked beside the sugar bowls. Look for *H Beard Print Collection* if you want to trace the same playful pen that once turned a teapot into a mascot.
