Over seventy years ago, Country Life Books published High Street, a children's book of shops featuring twenty-four exquisite lithographs by the English artist Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). Although the book was not a limited edition, the destruction of the lithographic plates during the Blitz meant that only 2000 copies were ever printed. Subsequently High Street has become one of the most highly-prized artist's books of its time.

This is an original lithograph, printed at The Curwen Press in 1938 (and not to be confused with the modern giclée reproductions in circulation).
