Walter Hoyle (1922-2000)<br />
Unicorns<br />
1958<br />
PO3.59<br />
This fun and brightly coloured design was probably<br />
intended to appeal to children and was used in the<br />
restroom of a school in Portsmouth.<br />
Hoyle’s heraldic unicorn has similarities to those<br />
created by Edward Bawden, particularly the<br />
unicorn for the royal coat of arms designed for<br />
the Observer newspaper (image right). The<br />
unicorn was a familiar post-war motif; the lion<br />
and unicorn were revived for the 1951 Festival<br />
of Britain as symbols of national identity.<br />
