About this Book

"Martin Salisbury explores the wide range of Minton's work, from stamp and wallpaper designs to the vibrant, evocative illustrations he created for Elizabeth David's first two groundbreaking cookery books. Presenting over 350 examples of Minton's elegant, seemingly effortless draughtsmanship, The Snail that Climbed the Eiffel Tower demonstrates how John Minton set new standards in the graphic and commercial arts with an inimitable style that continues to hold appeal today."--
