Our logo was designed in the late 1940s by Robert Ashwin Maynard
(1888-1966), a friend of Basil and Frances Krish, the founders of Sevenoaks Bookshop.
Once a pupil of Walter Sickert
at the Westminster School of Art, Maynard had been the first Controller of the Gregynog Press in Wales from 1922 to 1930,
and his wood-engravings grace many of its books. Gregynog has been described as "perhaps the most elegant
and perfectionist of the postwar presses, on a level with the Doves Press".
