Description
Marked by a classic neon sign, the Blue Swallow Motel, New Mexico is a landmark Route 66 motel dating from 1939. In this vibrant and dramatic photograph by Julien Mc. Roberts, a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain is parked in front of the retro sign. This giclee print on 300GS M watercolour paper is mounted in a contemporary silver leaf handmade wood frame. The mountboard is p. H neutral and the frame is made of FSC-certified ayous wood, from sustainably managed forests. Made in the UK by artisan framers, everything is high in quality, down to the metal fixings and string on the back of the piece making it ready to hang on your wall. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its bold, nostalgic vibe that adds character to any space. Its vivid blue tone makes it a striking focal point, especially in more neutral or modern interiors, where it can inject a pop of colour without overwhelming. It works particularly well in contemporary or eclectic settings, and is great above a sofa, bed, or even in a hallway to create visual interest. For styling tips, consider pairing it with minimal accessories to let the artwork stand out, or complement it with other vintage-inspired or neon accents for a cohesive look. Its sizeable dimensions make it suitable for larger walls, helping to anchor a space and spark conversation.

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.
