Eric Ravilious, ‘Tea at Furlongs’ Greetings Card.

Eric Ravilious ‘Tea at Furlongs’, watercolour, 1939. Also available as part of the Eric Ravilious Gardens Collection.

This scene depicts a corner of Peggy Angus’ flint-knapped walled garden in Firle, Sussex, which was something of a rural retreat for a number of like-minded artists including (of course) Peggy herself, Eric and Tirzah Ravilious, John Piper and many others. Eric’s time at Furlongs influenced him intensely, and he produced a great many of his best known paintings during his stays here.

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 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.
