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.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. RAVILIOUS, Eric (Illus.); RICHARDS, J.M. (Text). The Story of High Street. Sparham: The Mainstone Press, 2008. Limited edition of 750 copies, a handsome production to mark the 70th anniversary of the original edition of High Street, first published in 1938 by Country Life Books. Conceived as a childre…n's book of shops, it features 24 lithographs by Eric Ravilious depicting a variety of wonderful local shops of the pre-war era - cheesemongers, oyster bars, wedding cakes, letter makers, theatrical properties, model ships and railways, submarine engineers, fireworks, amusement arcades, and more. High Street is one of the most famous and beloved English illustrated books of the twentieth century. Eric Ravilious (1903-1942) was a painter, illustrator, lithographer, wood-engraver, and designer, who is now regarded as one of the finest English artists of the twentieth-century. Ravilious served as a war artist and was killed on a search and rescue flight from Iceland in September 1942. This edition is a reprint of the original edition, including reproductions of all 24 plates from the first issue. It also includes two major essays and an eclectic range of illustrations and preparatory drawings. In the first essay, The Making of High Street , art historian Alan Powers places the book in historical context, providing illuminating insights into its conception, production and publication. The second essay, High Street at Seventy by James Russell, describes the quest to identify and locate each of the shops depicted by Ravilious. 4to, original blue cloth, colour label to front board (reproducing Ravilious s watercolour sketch of the Submarine Shop ). 280pp, col plates+ text illustrations. Fine copy in original slipcase (also fine). ISBN: 9780955277726.

Add to basketFIRST EDITION, large 8vo, pp. 100, [2]. Twenty-four colour lithograph illustrations included in pagination. Original colour-printed boards, glassine dustjacket with card flaps. Head of spine a bit worn, fragile dustjacket with some chipping to top edge and some loss to bottom of front panel. One of the most iconic illustrated bo…oks of the 20th century, depicting a glowing collection of shop premises from an era already passing into history, High Street was produced in an edition of around 2,000 copies and was never reprinted in this form, since the lithograph stones for the illustrations (and probably at least some unsold copies) were destroyed when the Curwen Press premises were hit during the Blitz. A high-quality facsimile was finally produced in the 2010s. This copy retains its incredibly fragile and consequently even rarer dustjacket, made of glassine with glued-on flaps, the front one printed with the jacket copy.

Contact seller4-star sellerHard Cover. Condition: Very Good binding. First Edition. Octavo. 100, [2] pp., illus. First edition. As issued, in printed paper over flexible boards; this copy discreetly rebacked with 80% of the original backstrip laid down. Light rubbing to the binding; foxing to the fore-edge with occasional foxing to the margin of a few lea…ves. Joanna Selborne in her study of early 20th century book illustration describes Ravilious as "one of the foremost artists and designers of his generation, leaving a remarkably varied body of work ranging from wood-engravings, watercolours, and lithographs, to murals, furniture, and decorated china. . . . His prints, especially those for book illustration and for commercial projects, mark him as one of the most original and influential practitioners between the wars" p. 276. These 24 full-page, color lithographs by Ravilious comprise a remarkable series depicting shops and stalls that were initially presented to Christopher Sandford at the Golden Cockerel Press to see if he had interest in a possible book. According to Selborne, "Sandford was slow to respond and these were eventually taken up by Noel Carrington and published, together with a wood-engraved frontispiece and J.M. Richards's text" p. 287. Despite the extremely subtle reback, this remains a very nice copy of a desirable book. Selborne, Joanna. British Wood-Engraved Book Illustration, 1904-1940, p. 276-291.
