Nash, John Northcote (1893-1977)

English illustrator, artist, and engraver. He is best known for his watercolour landscapes, his studies of plants, and his illustrations for classic works of literature, such as Edmund Spenser's Shepheardes Calender (1930). He was the brother of the artist Paul Nash.
