A Rather Splendid Slice of English Nostalgia
Here we have a rather gorgeous A4 print that captures something quite marvellous about the English countryside. It was originally created for the cover of the Darling Buds of May series, and honestly, it manages to be both utterly fetching and deeply nostalgic without feeling remotely stuffy.
Why Choose Our Print
Authentic Literary Connection: Adorned the front covers of the Darling Buds of May novels, a celebration of 60 years of the Larkins. If you loved the series, this brings that world straight into your home.
Beautifully Crafted Vintage Aesthetic: The artwork combines wistful nostalgia for a bygone era with a decidedly modern sensibility. It is the sort of thing that makes you feel rather clever for having it on your wall.
Proper English Sensibilities: Created with the kind of attention to detail that invites you to step directly into the world H. E. Bates imagined. Very much the showstopper for any room that appreciates good taste.
Delightfully Stylish Design: This is not one of those overwrought prints that shouts. It whispers. It settles in rather nicely alongside your favourite possessions.
Product Details
Format: A4 print
Perfect For: Literary enthusiasts, lovers of vintage aesthetics, anyone who has watched the Larkins adaptations and wanted to keep that feeling close by, or simply those with an appreciation for artwork that does not try too terribly hard.
Arrives Ready to Frame: Pop it in a frame and you are rather set. No assembly required, just the immediate satisfaction of owning something properly handsome.
This is the sort of print that tends to become rather beloved once it finds its place. Rather like discovering a forgotten gem in a country house library.

We're terribly sorry, but shipping costs do vary rather wildly depending on where you are in the world. The exact figures pop up at checkout - no nasty surprises!
RETURNS

Now, we absolutely adore our brand partners - they work incredibly hard and we do try to support them as much as we possibly can. So I'm rather afraid we have to pass the return postage costs back to you. Frightfully sorry about that!

We Have Lots More Like This.........
Hello, we are Sostter....
Sostter began, as all good ideas do, with a lively conversation and a shared sense of frustration. Why had the world of independent design become so serious, so samey, so… beige? Where was the spark, the imagination, the sheer joy of discovering something that made you stop and stare?
We dreamt of a marketplace that celebrated difference — where curious minds could explore a world of independent brands, design-led makers, and thoughtful artisans. A space that felt exciting, human, and beautifully imperfect.
Today, Sostter brings together remarkable people and their creations — from London to Lausanne, Brooklyn to Berlin — uniting makers and discoverers through craftsmanship, creativity, and conscience. Every object tells a story, and every purchase supports an independent brand doing things differently.
This is just the beginning. But enough about us — step inside, explore our world, and see what catches your imagination.
Giving Back
We’re proud to support Sutton Night Watch, a grassroots UK charity making a real difference in the lives of those facing homelessness. Through regular donations of stock, supplies, and essentials, we back their mission to offer warmth, dignity, and practical help to anyone in need — right where it matters most.
