River Dart Print - Vintage Greenway Travel Poster Devon
Why We Love This Product
What draws you to the water when everything else feels too loud?
This River Dart print captures the answer in a single, peaceful moment: a solitary rowing boat resting on calm waters beneath Agatha Christie's Greenway estate. Award-winning artist Becky Bettesworth chooses the waterline perspective rather than the grand house itself, revealing the true soul of this South Hams treasure.
This is the print that changed everything. When Becky exhibited her Greenway series in spring 2013, it caught the National Trust's attention, transforming her kitchen-table hobby into a thriving career. The collection later led to her commission by Penguin Books to illustrate the covers of Christie's novels, but this riverside scene remains at the heart of it all.
Inspired by classic 1930s railway travel posters, Becky strips away modern distractions to show you the River Dart as Christie herself would have known it. The soft, mellow palette of pastels captures those South Hams summer afternoons when time seems to pause, and the only sounds are gentle water lapping against the boat and birdsong from the wooded banks.
The composition invites quiet contemplation. You can almost feel yourself in that boat, watching the river flow by, surrounded by the ancient Devon landscape that inspired some of Christie's most beloved stories. It's that rare combination of literary heritage and timeless natural beauty.
Available in sizes from A4 to statement A1, unframed or professionally framed in white wood, with optional double mount. The signed gift set includes three artisan chocolate bars, whilst the 1000-piece jigsaw lets you lose yourself in this peaceful riverside scene piece by piece.
Please note that the design on the chocolate gift set packaging may vary.
Tip: Pairs beautifully with the Greenway House, Greenway Boathouse, and Greenway Travel Poster prints for a complete estate gallery wall.
