EIGHTEEN original watercolours, created by one of Britain’s best-known wildlife artists for Ladybird’s much-loved illustrated non-fiction book What to Look For in Summer, will be on show at the National Trust’s Mottisfont this summer. First published in 1960, Charles Tunnicliffe’s instantly recognisable artworks capture the landscapes, plants and wildlife of a summer season in the British countryside - swallows swooping over farmland on the hunt for insects, a water vole hiding on a river’s edge, an adder basking on sun-warmed dunes. For decades, these exquisitely detailed scenes gave thousands of children the opportunity to learn more about the natural world around them. In ‘What to Look For in Summer’, the onlooker is drawn into a ‘hidden’ world of wildlife activity – a hedgehog on a twilight ramble for food, sea urchins and star fish lurking beneath a rock pool’s surface.
