Step Inside and Prove It,
£195Step Inside and Prove It,
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries this type of poster was a ubiquitous feature of every corner shop, café and public house. Printed with wood block type onto poor quality newsprint paper they were a transient form of advertising designed to be used then discarded, so hardly any originals exist. These reproductions are based on some surviving originals printed by London firm of Samuel Reeves Ltd, which have been scanned, restored and reprinted onto fine art paper using archival quality ink.

Naturalist Rambles on the Devonshire Coast, by Philip Henry Gosse. ‘Johnstonella Catharina’,
£220Naturalist Rambles on the Devonshire Coast, by Philip Henry Gosse. ‘Johnstonella Catharina’,
Living in London, Gosse's prodigious hobby of publishing work on his observations resulted in a breakdown from overwork. He was advised to go and live in the country and moved to Devon in 1853 where he wrote 'A naturalist's rambles on the Devonshire coast' The book successfully popularised the science of marine biology, but his reputation as a serious scientist later suffered with the publication of 'Omphalo' in which he refuted developmental theory, aiming to reconcile geology with the Bible's account of creation.£220 -
