The Heaton Review : Vol. IV : 1931 : Heaton Parish Church, Bradford, West Yorkshire : 1931 : Printers; Percy Lund Humphries : J. B. Priestley, Esq. : Jacob Kramer

            From 1927, for a few years, one of the most remarkable Parish magazines ever issued appeared from the Heaton Parish Church in Bradford. Noted as being "an effort to answer one of the demands made by the World Call to the Church, viz, - that of keeping touch with those whom we still  regard as our fellow-parishioners", edited locally and fortunately printed by the renowned printers of Percy, Lund Humphries who were based in the city, the Review rapidly rose in stature. Major local, national and international figures, authors and artists provided forwords, articles and illustrations; later issues are a remarkable conucopia of art and literature even as the Review available by subscription or from local bookshops and stalls, sold for 2/6d (12.5p).

Volume 4 from 1931 is no exception. The forword is by John Galsworthy and the first article, on Bradford, is by no less than the city's lierary giant, J.B. Priestley. The covers show an illustration by Claude Lovat Fraser (1890 - 1921), a remarkable artist and this illustration was originally for one of a series of Christmas cards, this being The Festival of Christmas, originally issued by Lund Humphries in 1921. There are other illustrations such as landscapes and portraits by artists as varied as Alan Gwynne-Jones, Jacob Kramer, W.F. Briggs and Frederick Lawson. The Review also contains adverts for local concerns and shops all set in various typefaces by Lund Humphries.

This portrait is by local artist Jacob Kramer. Kramer (1892 - 1962) was Ukrainian born and whose family settled in Leeds just after 1900. Kramer, who ran away from home to work at the age of 10, started studying art in Leeds in 1907 and later studied at the Slade in 1913/14. After wartime military service Kramer returned to Yorkshire. John Boynton Priestley OM (1894 - 1984) was an influential Bradford born novelist, playwight, broadcaster and commentator.
