Newhaven Harbour by Eric Ravilious - Contemporary Lithographs Ltd, 1937

A brave pre-WW2 experiment was the Lithographs for Schools series issued by Contemporary Lithographs Ltd and who produced a series of lithographs that, at the time didn't sell and that now are highly sought after.

 

This wonderful scene of Newhaven Harbour is by Eric Ravilious - whose life was tragically cut short when he died in active service as an official UK War Artist in 1942.
