Cheese, Bernard: At the Tea Bar
£750.00
A wonderfully atmospheric lithograph in colours in excellent condition, the subtlety of colour and texture is remarkable. This superb print is signed, numbered three of only 8, dated 1949 in pencil and recently framed, a real rarity we’ve never seen before.
A view into street life in London in the early post-war years, possibly located outside one of the main railway stations.
