Description
'Iona Croft' by artist Francis Cadell. This colourful giclee print has a cotton core mount in a handmade and hand-finished solid ash wood frame. Made in the UK by museum specialists and printed on heavyweight, matt-smooth fine art paper, it's ready to hang on your wall. Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell studied in Paris and lived in Munich before settling in his native Edinburgh around 1909. Cadell's pre-war work is influenced by the Impressionists. Cadell first visited the island of Iona, off the west coast of Scotland, in 1912. Thereafter he returned frequently, often in the company of Post-Impressionist painter Samuel Peploe. Cadell’s paintings show everyday life on the island such as the brightly roofed building seen here, and he felt the light was of the same quality as that in the south of France. Like Peploe, Cadell found the tranquillity of the island a welcome break from his life in Edinburgh. His canvases of island scenes, painted in bold colours with block-like brushstrokes, were popular when he returned to the city. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its charming, painterly depiction of Iona, which adds a touch of colour and calm to any space. It's versatile enough to work well in living rooms, bedrooms, or even a hallway to create an inviting atmosphere. The size makes it a great focal point without overwhelming smaller walls, and pairing it with simple furnishings ensures it remains the highlight. For styling, consider placing it in a grouping with other artworks or framed photographs for a personal gallery feel, or use it to introduce a subtle coastal vibe in neutral or muted decor schemes. The clean black frame provides a contemporary touch that helps it blend seamlessly into both modern and traditional settings.

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.
