About the artist
World War II saw him working in Intelligence. While the details remain undisclosed, it's believed this period shaped his unique ability to bring topographical accuracy and visual richness to technical drawings. Post-war, Lampitt collaborated with popular weekly magazine 'John Bull' and had successful stints with Medici cards, Readers Digest, Look and Learn magazine, and the Whitbread calendar.
Lampitt produced artwork for nine Ladybird books and designed railway posters featuring destinations like Bexhill-on-Sea, Harlech Castle, and St Michael's Mount in Cornwall during the 1950s and 60s. He spent his last 50 years in Sidcup, Kent, drawing inspiration from its countryside until his death in 1988.
