Book Illustration Commission

The British Association on the Riviera is publishing a professionally designed handbook in 2007 to commemorate its 50th Anniversary. Edited by Hugh Mitford Raymond, Chairman of the Nice Branch, its purpose is to supply information to English speaking residents and visitors in the Alpes Maritimes and Var. With an introduction from the British Consul, the book will cover a wide range of topics from the French Health System to Buying a Property on the Riviera.

This informative gem will be liberally illustrated with colourful images of the South of France , from Menton to the Var.
Nissen Samuels has been commissioned to create a series of watercolours in her inimitable style to embellish the book and make it a pleasure to find out more about this exquisite area.
