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.
Here's a selection of the original lithographs, printed at The Curwen Press in 1938 (and not to be confused with the modern digital/giclée reproductions in circulation).
Historically, book sellers would remove the lithographs and sell individually (we sourced this current selection of lithographs from a specialist book seller).
Due to the scarcity of the book and the increased interest in Ravilious' work, the High Street book is generally sold in its entire published form.
