Eric Ravilious ‘Aldeburgh Bathing Machines’ Greeting Card.

Eric Ravilious ‘Aldeburgh Bathing Machines’

This is another of the paintings Ravilious produced during his stay in Aldeburgh (see The Lifeboat). While all the others are bright, airy and fresh, ‘Aldeburgh Bathing Machines’ makes an unusual addition, with the yellow sand mirrored in the equally granular sky, down through which beams what appears to be a spotlight illuminating the last bathing machines on the left. These machines were growing scarce by the 1930s, having previously been a common fixture to enable the modest bather to change in privacy and not have to walk to far to the water.

Also available with The Lifeboat and Newhaven Harbour as the Ravilious by the Sea collection.

Blank inside, so suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, and all occasions.

Dimensions: 140mm by 140mm (square).

Printed on 300gsm FSC approved Invercote card stock using high quality inks to retain the colours of the original image. Each card is supplied with a white laid envelope, so you can share them with friends and family.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time, particularly in the first two decades of the 21st century.
