In August 1938 Ravilious visited the beautiful Suffolk seaside town of Aldeburgh. There he painted a group of unusually vivid watercolours, inclusing two studies of the town’s idiosyncratic bathing machines and this exuberant picture of a lifeboat. This craft, named the Abdy Beauclerk after a keen yachtsman who had died twenty years earlier, had been launched in May 1932 by Prince Albert (the future George VI). She went on to enjoy a long and distinguished career, carrying out the first rescue of World War II on 10 September 1939 and subsequently taking part in the Dunkirk evacuation.

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.'
