Description

We are happy to present a set of 6 rather good Eric Ravilious postcards, featuring some of his well known (and less well known) watercolours, including ‘Chalk Paths’, ‘Beachy Head’, ‘Newt Pond’, ‘Cuckmere Haven’, ‘Vale of the White Horse’, and ‘Beachy Head Lighthouse (Belle Tout)’.

Printed on high quality 350gsm Invercote card stock using high quality inks. The name of the artist, painting, medium and date are printed on the reverse.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He was born 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.
