Lithograph for ‘High Street’, 1938 – one of 24 exquisite images of pre-war shops.
John Piper (previewing the work in ‘Signature’, 1937) writes: ‘Ravilious is a particularly English artist…..there is probably no-one else who could have made these records at once so faithfully and imaginatively.
There is about them the suggestion that you are looking in at a series of gay, old-fashioned parties from the matter-of-fact street in the present.
They are records of a passing beauty, but they are full of present-day experience. And they are faithful enough to look like tuck-shops full of sherbert, liquorice and lollipops – which, after all, is one of the chief appeals of the attractive shop’.

Giclée Print, Limited Edition (1/850) on 310gsm thick, 100% cotton rag.

Testimonials

'As previously, the service we received was superb. We received expert and unhurried advice about our requirements, and were dealt with as more than just customers.
We would thoroughly recommend King's Framers.'

'I’ve have used King’s Framers to frame things for years - and even though we now live quite a distance away - I wouldn’t use anyone else! Peta has an amazing eye so always makes excellent framing suggestions which enhance the artwork and look fantastic when hung. The quality of the framing is excellent - and I know that the things we have framed will both be protected and look incredible for the long term. Can’t recommend King’s Framers highly enough!'

'I am so impressed by this shop I had 2 pictures that my mum had painted and she’d passed away so I took them here to be framed. Peta was so helpful and kind and efficient she helped choose the perfect colour frame and style for my paintings. I took a while to pick them up as I was a little emotional but from the minute I walked in she was so lovely and helpful the frame brought out the beauty of the paintings and I was really happy. Thank you peta for your kindness and obvious professionalism I won’t hesitate to come back.'
