Description
This pair of framed 'Pride of Great Britain' prints feature an iconic London bus and red phone box along with a Mini car painted in a striking Union Jack flag design, reproduced from original paintings by artist Adam Barsby. Made in the UK and ready to hang on your wall, these prints are presented glazed in a window mount and frame. Adam Barsby was born in Leicester in 1969. After graduating in illustration at the Kent Institute of Art and Design with a first-class honours degree in 1992, he began his artistic career as a freelance illustrator. At the same time, he began working in galleries in and around London. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love these prints for their vibrant colours and nostalgic British themes, making them a great way to add personality and a pop of interest to a range of interiors. They work especially well in casual or eclectic spaces, such as a living room with vintage touches or a home office with a bit of character. Practical styling tips include pairing them with simple frames and giving them space to breathe on a feature wall, perhaps above a sofa or sideboard. They can also be combined with other small artworks or vintage accessories for a cohesive look. Their size makes them versatile enough to fit into smaller nooks or to join as part of a gallery wall, adding an energetic, patriotic vibe to your home.

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.
