You Wouldn't do it to a Badger

In 2018, to mark the centenary of the Armistice bringing to an end the First World War, You Wouldn’t do it to a Badger was  CHARLOTTE CORY’s contribution to “Myth and Image” an exhibition at Camberwell College where the visionary writer, poet (author of one of the greatest literary productions of that War In Parenthesis) and engraver DAVID JONES (1895-1974) studied and later taught.  

In the course of Cory’s research she discovered that Jones’s life had actually been saved in the trenches, not by the proverbial Bible, but by a sardine can in his pocket.  A piece of her sardine can wallpaper forms the outer cover of this catalogue.

This unique catalogue, You Wouldn’t do it to a Badger, contains seven verbal and visual essays:
– The Great War Photoshoot or You Wouldnt do it to a badger…
– A study in WW1 propaganda using animal imagery
– The Pictures on the Wall – story of a wallpaper
– Journey’s End – a personal war memorial, reprinted from the Daily Telegraph, November 1999
– The men who marched away, the women who waited & the people who wrote in
– A Cabinet of instagram curiosities
– The Missing Story
