Within four years it had closed for the war, and its stock and records destroyed by bombing. There is virtually no paper record, nor any photographs of the shop, but a 1979 lecture given by Cecilia Dunbar Kilburn (by then Lady Sempill) serves as a starting point to recreate the goods and ethos of the shop, which has been immortalised by a flamboyant two-colour trade card engraved by Eric Ravilious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLady Sempill's lecture is reprinted in full, with a memoir by her daughter Gabriel Sempill, and an essay of about 26,000 words by Simon Lawrence on the artists involved with the shop and their wares including Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Enid Marx.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be featured in July 2017's issue of \u003cem\u003eThe World of Interiors\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• 172 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• Size 230 × 230 mm\u003cbr\u003e• Presented in a solander box with an original copy of the Eric Ravilious trade card (printed in 1938) plus a piece of hand-printed organdie fabric by Enid Marx.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Edition limited to 120 copies\u003c\/strong\u003e (also available as \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.stjudesprints.co.uk\/products\/dunbar-hay\"\u003ea standard edition\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ewithout\u003c\/span\u003e the trade card, fabric and solander box)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePLEASE\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eNOTE\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e UK delivery is included within the price of this book.
