Eric Ravilious ‘Village Life’ Greetings Card Collection (No. 2 – Great Bardfield).

Introducing the second of the Eric Ravilious village life collections, with this one focussing on his and Tirzah’s time in the Essex village of Great Bardfield. Two of them (Drought, and The Village School/New Bungalow) depict the parched landscape of the long, tropical summer of 1933, with the third, Prospect from the Attic, judging by the leafless trees and the carpet-beating figure, probably painted in early spring, 1932.

Drought, Prospect from the Attic, and The Village School/New Bungalow are also available as single cards.

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

Dimensions: 178mm by 127mm (landscape).

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.
