GREAT BRITISH INSTITUTIONS

Ordinary Magnificence

Britain has a remarkable talent for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. From the familiar fixtures of everyday life to the traditions, peculiarities and enduring establishments that have become part of the national character, Great British Institutions celebrates the things that make Britain unmistakably British. Rich in history, character and eccentricity, these are the institutions that have helped shape the nation and remain woven into the fabric of British life.Individual artworks and the complete collection are available for commercial licensing.

This collection is exclusively licensed and remains on display as part of the Jon Crocker portfolio.
New works in this style can be created for publishers and commercial partners.
