'The Archer' Early 20C Painted Shop Sign

An iron painted shop sign, early 20th century, probably by Edwin Lutyens, 1869-1944 depicting an Archer with bow and arrow. Edward Lutyens (1869-1944) In the early 1930's Sir Edwin Lutyens was requested to design an extension to the village of Cockington, Devon, in keeping with the existing thatched cottages. It was planned to include an Inn, shops and accommodation. Mainly due to the second world war only the Inn was ever built, however the village shop signs were also made. The signs were made in the old forge by the blacksmith Mr Bill Bradford. Lutyens first grooved out onto a plain sheet of metal the designs and then passed them onto the blacksmith.
