Description
Eric Ravilious's vibrant illustrations bring to life the British high street in this charming facsimile edition. First published in 1938, the book showcases a range of shops and establishments that lined the streets during the late 19th century.
The original book was printed in limited numbers before the lithographic plates were destroyed in the London Blitz, making it one of the most collectible artists' books from this period. This beautifully reproduced edition features all 24 of Ravilious's colour illustrations, accompanied by an essay that sets the book in its historical context.
Facsimile edition with introduction and essay by Gill Saunders, Senior Curator of Prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Hardcover, 112 pages.
