Edit ProfileEducation
Stowe School.
Career
He was a pupil of Pietro Annigoni. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1954 and in 1966 The Connoisseur described him as at "the forefront of mural decorators in England". In 1983, Whidborne was one of the artists chosen to prepare alternative designs to the long-running Machin series of British definitive postage stamps.
After consideration, the design was not changed and it was subsequently decided to continue with the current design for the lifetime of the Queen.
