ERIC RAVILIOUS
10. Introductory Lithograph, Submarine Dream
Eric Ravilious is now remembered for his quintessentially English watercolours (one making over £240,000 at Christies last week), his wood-engravings for the Golden Cockerel, Nonesuch and other presses, and his designs for Wedgwood ceramics. At the outbreak of World War II he became an official war artist, together with Edward Bawden and John Nash. During the summer of 1940 he painted submarine operations at HMS Dolphin in

Hampshire. Over the following months he produced a series of lithographs based on his submarine drawings which were printed in a small edition at Cowells of Ipswich. These rare original lithographs are now seen at over £10,000 each. Ravilious went on to further assignments; on his last, a flight over Iceland in September 1942, he was reported missing, presumed dead. He was 39 years of age.
This series of lithographs was screened from original prints and printed on Canaletto paper at the Camberwell Press. They were published in 1996 in an edition of 50 only. Image sizes are 28 x 32 cm and each print has a Camberwell Press blind stamp bottom right. A copy of the numbered justification page will accompany each print. front cover: 1.
