Price History
Description
A welcoming view of New York's Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty as sketched by artist Catherine Stephenson, framed and mounted. Born in 1967, Catherine Stephenson has lived in Yorkshire all her life. She began her artistic journey experimenting with watercolours, before pursuing a career in stained-glass design. More recently, her success with her watercolour and ink paintings of quirky street and harbour scenes rank her as a very popular and versatile artist.
Our Stylist Says
I really like Catherine Stephenson’s New York print for its clean, modern lines and monochrome palette, which makes it a versatile piece for various interiors. Its elongated shape works particularly well in narrow spaces, such as hallways or above sideboards, adding visual interest without overwhelming the room. This print complements contemporary, minimalist, or industrial schemes perfectly, but it can also serve as a striking contrast piece in a more eclectic setting. When styling, consider pairing it with sleek black or metallic accents to enhance its urban vibe, or keep the overall look simple for a more understated, sophisticated effect. It’s a great option for those wanting to introduce cityscape interest without colour overpowering the space.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
