Description
A framed print of 'The Surrey Canal, Camberwell' in south London, 1935, by Algernon Newton, from the Tate collection. Made in the UK exclusively for John Lewis. The black frame is made of FSC-certified solid ayous wood, sourced from sustainably managed forests. Framed with a card mount and glass front, it arrives ready to hang on your wall. Known as the 'Canaletto of the canals', British landscape artist Algernon Newton (1880–1968) was invalided out of the Army in 1916. After recuperating among the Cornish artist community at Lamorna, he returned to London, exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Art and the New English Art Club. He was elected ARA (Associate Royal Academician) in 1936, and a full RA in 1943. Newton's paintings are in galleries in the UK, Australia and the USA. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its understated charm and historical feel. The John Lewis & Partners + Tate Algernon Newton view of the Surrey Canal in Camberwell is ideal for adding a touch of urban tranquility to contemporary or industrial interiors. It works particularly well in living rooms or home offices with neutral palettes, where it can serve as a calming focal point. Practical styling tips include pairing it with minimalist furniture to let the artwork stand out, or creating a gallery wall by combining it with other black-and-white or cityscape prints for a curated look. Its generous size makes it versatile-whether hung above a sofa or on a feature wall-adding depth and character to everyday spaces.

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.
