Walter E. Spradbery was a renowned designer in the early 1900's.
He was most known for building a long lasting secure relationship with the London Transport system.
His main focus in his works revolved around nature type designs weather than be flowers, mushrooms, or even a calm little creek side.
He focused his works around a distinct contrast in color. The two examples shown on the right show that clearly. The bright pink rhododendrons contrasting the dark green leaves in the first. The darker green leaves contrasting the bright orange background sky in the second.
