East Sussex Battle Print
Our East Sussex Battle print by The Northern Line features Battle Abbey and is inspired by the style of the old mid-century Penguin book covers. This Martlet Classic takes its name from the martlet bird that appears on the Sussex county flag and coat of arms. The martlet is a mythical heraldic bird, distinctive because of its lack of feet which is believed to symbolise that these birds spend their entire lives in the air. This print is an unframed, unmounted open edition.

Ravilious Submarine
Ravilious Submarine celebrates the creation of a remarkable series of prints made by Eric Ravilious during the dark winter of 1940-41. Rare was the artist who descended into the depths to portray the gloomy, cramped interior of a naval submarine, yet it is not just the subject matter that makes the Submarine Series so powerful; the medium too is extraordinary. One of the most difficult and demanding of the printmaker’s arts, auto-lithography enjoyed a golden period in Europe between the wars, and in Britain this series represents a pinnacle of achievement. In this lavishly illustrated book, James Russell explores the sequence of events that gave us Ravilious the lithographer, a story that introduces Soviet revolutionaries in Moscow, Russian émigrés in Paris, Jewish immigrants in the East End of London and a host of visionary printers, publishers and designers. All ten lithographs in the Submarine Series are shown, each accompanied by a short descriptive essay which explores the scene depicted, introducing people and giving insights into the strange, dangerous life of a submariner during World War Two.
