Description
By day Percy Monkman (1892 to 1986) worked in the same Bradford bank for 40 years, indeed the same office, ending up as chief cashier.
Everything else about Percy was totally unconventional.
By night, at weekends, on holidays he transformed himself into an entertainer, actor, artist and cartoonist whose work was regularly acclaimed by the public and held in great respect by colleagues. Percy was highly creative, talented and energetic, a man who achieved high standards in all his artistic activities.
Percy’s extraordinary life of achievement is a unique record of social history, reflecting life in 20th century Bradford. Sadly, this is now largely a lost world.
This affectionate and comprehensive biography by his grandson, is both a visual delight and a joy to read, including high quality reproductions of some of Percy’s most famous paintings.
