Celebrate the artistry of Eric Ravilious with Greenwich Observatory, a 1937 watercolor originally commissioned by London Transport. Although purchased, the painting was never published as a poster due to the outbreak of the Second World War. Today, it remains a treasured example of Ravilious’s modernist style, combining architectural precision with the natural beauty of the Royal Observatory at Greenwich.
This full-coverage cross-stitch pattern allows you to recreate Ravilious’s distinctive design in needle and thread. Perfect for stitchers who love fine art, history, and timeless design, it’s both a rewarding project and a beautiful finished piece. Bring a piece of British art history into your home with this elegant, museum-quality design.
