Vintage School Print - Nesting Birds by Eileen Soper

These vintage school prints by Eileen Soper for Enid Blyton are beautiful and nostalgic, with soft colours and detailed portrayals of the natural world.

Number 6  - Where Shall We Nest?

This print shows a variety of birds in an idyllic country scene. It's spring, and all are busy creating their nests. Soper has condensed their habitats to show the variety of nest building techniques. My absolute favourite print in this series! It's number 6 of Enid Blyton Nature Prints for schools that were available in the 1950's. Eileen Soper's signature is visable in the bottom right of the print. Some of these prints have slightly odd titles! This is because they were each linked to an Enid Blyton story that the teacher read to the class. The titles are taken from the stories.

There is a thick black border around the print and the condition within it is very good. The colours are bright and clear and there are no tears or creases.There are a few river themed prints in the series, they look lovely framed up and displayed together. Head to the nature section in the shop for more.
