EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hams, illustration from High Street by J. M. Richards" takes us back to the bustling streets of the 1930s. Created by renowned artist Eric Ravilious and printed by the Curwen Press, this colourful lithograph captures a vivid snapshot of life in that era. The image showcases an interior scene featuring a shop display filled with succulent hams hanging from hooks. The attention to detail is remarkable, as each ham appears perfectly cured and ready for consumption. It's evident that great care was taken in illustrating these mouthwatering delicacies. Intriguingly, several chefs can be seen admiring the hams with keen interest. Perhaps they are gathering inspiration or contemplating how best to prepare these delectable meats for their discerning customers. Their presence adds an element of liveliness and authenticity to the composition. This artwork not only highlights the artistry involved in food preparation but also offers a glimpse into historical culinary practices during this time period. It serves as a reminder of how much our tastes and traditions have evolved over the years. As we admire this exquisite print, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era where quality craftsmanship and attention to detail were highly valued commodities – qualities that still resonate today.
