An exceptional and rare original numbered lithograph by renowned British artist John Piper (1903–1992), dating from 1939, a pivotal year in the artist’s early modernist career. Known for his evocative depictions of architecture, landscapes, and wartime Britain, Piper was a central figure in 20th-century British art and an official war artist during WWII.
This limited edition print—hand-numbered and bearing Piper’s signature—reflects the artist’s transition from abstract influences to the romantic realism that would define much of his later work. Created during a time of artistic experimentation, the lithograph embodies Piper’s bold use of line, texture, and structure, drawing upon the Cubist and Surrealist influences that marked his pre-war output.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic early print by one of Britain’s most celebrated 20th-century artists. Highly collectible and ideal for discerning collectors of British modernism, wartime art, and historic printmaking.
