Vintage School Print - Rockpool by Eileen Soper

These vintage school prints by Eileen Soper for Enid Blyton are beautiful and nostalgic, with soft colours and detailed portrayals of the natural world.

Number 39 - Sea Foam's Adventure

This is a lovely print of a tidal rockpool and some of it's inhabitants. All of the shells and crustaceans are labelled so you can tell your Preiwinkle from your Wentletrap! There are mussels in the water and barnacles on the rocks and, because this is Enid Blyton, a sea foam fairy as well! Perfect for a bathroom or coast themed room. It's number 38 in a series of Enid Blyton Nature Prints for schools that were available in the 1950's. Eileen Soper's signature is visable in the bottom right of the print. Some of these prints have slightly odd titles! This is because they were each linked to an Enid Blyton story that the teacher read to the class. The titles are taken from the stories.

There is a thick black border around the print and the condition within it is very good. The colours are bright and clear and there are no tears or creases.There are a few river and sea themed prints in the series, they look lovely framed up and displayed together. Head to the nature section in the shop for more.
