Synopsis
A chance for window-shopping – and a peek into backrooms and workshops – on a 1930s high street, this work is the classic collaboration of the architectural writer James Richards (1907–92) and artist Eric Ravilious (1903–42). It describes 24 establishments ranging from a family butcher to the ‘Submarine Engineer†selling diving suits, and includes a pub, an undertaker and a traditional London grill room. Facsimile of the first, limited edition published by the Curzon Press, 1938.

Hardback. Condition: New. A facsimile edition of the classic High Street, which pairs the timeless illustrations of Eric Ravilious with a fascinating text by architectural historian J. M. Richards. First published in 1938, this charming book introduces the British high street. Shops include the family butcher, the cheesemonger, the baker and confectioner and the oyster bar, as well as specialized establishments such as the plumassier, the clerical outfitter and the submarine engineer. Only 2,000 copies of the original book were printed before the lithographic plates were destroyed in the London Blitz. As a result, it has become one of the most collectible of all artists' books from this period. This beautiful facsimile edition features all 24 of Ravilious's colour illustrations, and includes an essay by Gill Saunders, Senior Curator of Prints at the Victoria and Albert Museum, that sets the book in its historical context.
