This shows some of the stencils that HTW used to prepare the small book ‘Fifty Japanese Stencils’.

HTW designed a simple colour wheel which would show how one colour would react when seen in conjunction with another. The final design for the wheel was made and sold by Reeves, the well known artists suppliers. HTW’s original mock up for the wheel can be seen in the last picture.

An exhibition of post-war modern design was held in Edinburgh in 1947. The ‘Enterprise Scotland’ exhibition mainly showed commercial products, but this set of cards was produced as a souvenir set by HTW. The final cards were reduced in size from much larger lithographic originals.

Amongst other commissions, Henry Taylor Wyse was asked to create murals for the Hotel Italie in Gravedona, Italy. These photographs show the preliminary drawings for the nine panels.

HTW is standing to the right of the first photograph.

This file details the objects HTW’s created for his local church in Blackhall, Edinburgh. Only a wooden maquette of the cross was ever constructed as far as we know, but the pulpit fall was actually sewn and displayed.

The embroidery was by HTW’s daughter, Helann Wannop (Wyse).

HTW designed a machine to print the marbled papers you will see in many of the examples in this archive. Production was made during the late 1930’s at a print factory in Leith. He took out a patent for the machine in both the British Isles and Canada. This is an extract from the patent application he submitted.
