Aggiungi al carrelloFirst edition, first impression, highly uncommon in the fragile glassine jacket. Published in an edition thought to be 2,000 copies, High Street was never reprinted, as the original lithograph stones were destroyed during the Blitz when the Curwen Press premises in Plaistow, East London, received two direct hits. The Country Lif…e warehouse was also a victim of the London Blitz, hence the rarity of this publication. As a result of the bombing at that warehouse, copies of Mervyn Peake's Captain Slaughterboard Drops Anchor (1939) were also, famously, lost. Ravilious's beautiful and evocative book "had a long gestation, starting from an idea of Helen Binyon's [a contemporary of Ravilious at the Royal College of Art] for an alphabet of shops, but also resembling certain of the lithographed 'Père Castor' children's books from Paris that Ravilious collected, such as Faites votre marché, by Natalie Parin, of 1935, which was intended to be instructive as well as decorative. Ravilious deliberately looked for odd shops with special and often Victorian visual appeal" (Powers, p. 22). A review of the book in The Manchester Guardian noted "High Street. is in a category by itself. Mr. Eric Ravilious presents two dozen attractive coloured drawings of different kinds of shops, while Mr. J. M. Richards, lifting the veil of secrecy, tells us what goes on in each case behind the scenes". Alan Powers, Eric Ravilious: Imagined Realities, 2012; The Manchester Guardian, 9 December 1938. Octavo. Monochrome vignette title page and 24 colour lithograph plates by Ravilious. Original lithographic boards printed in brown, blue and black, spine lettered in black. Original glassine dust jacket with printed card flaps. Extremities a little rubbed, some foxing; slight loss to glassine spine and other creases or short tears to unclipped jacket: a very good copy in like jacket.
