Price History
Description
Peering through the leaves, sunlight filters into an enchanted woodland. The trees are surrounded by a carpet of bluebells, creating more of a fairytale than a forest. Made in the UK, this photographic print is presented glazed in a window mount with a decorative two-tone silver and gunmetal foil frame, ready to hang on your wall. Mike Shepherd's beautiful photography aims to achieve a clear description of natural design and elemental simplicity in the landscape. He explores inner light, essence and ideal form. His images are simultaneously realistic and impressionistic. Born in London in 1964, Shepherd took up photography on his sixteenth birthday. A Lancaster University graduate, he came out with a first-class honours degree in Eastern art and architecture, going on to teach photography, digital imaging and digital art at the same university. After this, he embarked on his now full-time career as a landscape photographer, where he is strongly influenced by the American landscape monochrome tradition.

Our Stylist Says
I love this print for its fresh, natural vibe-it’s perfect for bringing a touch of the outdoors inside. The green tones work really well in both neutral and monochrome schemes, providing a calming focal point. It’s quite versatile, making it ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, or even a cosy reading nook that could benefit from a hint of woodland serenity. Practical styling tips include pairing it with simple, minimal furniture to keep the focus on the artwork, and layering with soft textiles or light-coloured accessories to enhance its tranquil feel. Its substantial size means it acts as a statement piece even when hung on its own, or it can be grouped with other nature-inspired prints for a gallery wall.

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.
