Fine Art Print: The Fever Van (1935)

One of LS Lowry’s most poignant works, The Fever Van, captures a scene that was all too common in early 20th-century Britain. The arrival of the fever van, used to transport patients with infectious diseases such as scarlet fever, was a moment of dread for many families. Lowry portrays this event with his signature detached figures, standing and watching as the van makes its solemn collection.

The muted tones and composition convey a quiet yet powerful emotional depth, making this fine art print an essential piece for those who admire Lowry’s ability to turn everyday moments into lasting social commentary. Available in one size, The Fever Van remains a moving and historically significant work.
