A glass Pyrex baking dish filled with a strawberry and rhubarb crumble, golden topping, jammy fruit at the edges, a portion already served onto a plate beside it with a generous dollop of cream, fresh strawberries scattered to the left, rhubarb stalks with their green leaves in the background, this is a 1960s recipe supplement photograph of absolute technical perfection. Warm, saturated, slightly faded, the colours of strawberry pink and rhubarb red and cream filling the frame in the way that only mid century food photography could achieve.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposed. Comfortable. Completely at home in her crumble.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReclining directly on top of the crumble as if it were a sun lounger on the most delicious holiday imaginable, a 1960s woman in a floral mini dress, dark hair, completely composed, looking directly at the viewer with the calm of someone who has made an excellent decision and knows it. Her floral dress echoes the strawberries and rhubarb around her, she is almost camouflaged by the dessert, almost part of the recipe,  a human ingredient in the most surreal dish ever photographed. The scale collision is perfect and perfectly ambiguous, is she miniaturised into the dish, or is the dish enormous? both readings are equally, completely satisfying.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_ua7qq_109\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAs demand grows for retro kitchen art, vintage food prints, kitsch diner decor and bold statement pieces for culinary spaces, Deserted on a Dessert sits at the perfect intersection of mid century cookbook nostalgia, surrealist wit and the deeply relatable fantasy of abandoning all responsibilities and simply lying down in a warm crumble. Perfect for kitchens, dining rooms, cafes, bakeries, vintage diners, tea rooms, eclectic living rooms and any space that understands that the best art makes you hungry and the best food makes you feel like art. This piece resonates with buyers searching vintage kitchen print, retro food art, kitsch kitchen decor, funny food art and surreal cookbook art. The art print for everyone who has ever looked at a crumble and thought: yes. That is exactly where I want to be.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e• All art prints are gallery quality Giclée printed.\u003cbr\u003e• Printed on 200gsm archival matt paper using the finest archival inks.\u003cbr\u003e• Print has a white border around the image.\u003cbr\u003e• Print is titled at the base of the image with signature.\u003cbr\u003e• Sizes specified are inclusive of the overall paper dimensions, including the white border.\u003cbr\u003e• Art print does not include frame.\u003cbr\u003e• Due to different screen configurations, the colour of the purchased print may slightly vary to what you see on your computer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhen you purchase any of our original artworks you can be assured that all packaging is either recyclable or biodegradable using the most ethical means in line with our commitment to 100% carbon neutral sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll A3 (equivalent variants) art prints are shipped in a firm recyclable cardboard mailing envelope or tube and marked - DO NOT BEND.\u003cbr\u003eAll A2\/A1\/A0 (equivalent variants) art prints are shipped in a firm recyclable cardboard mailing tube and marked - DO NOT BEND.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Delivery Timeframes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBelow are guidelines for receipt of delivery of your purchase from the time your order is dispatched.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUK 2-3 Business Days\u003cbr\u003eEurope 1-5 Business Days\u003cbr\u003eUSA \/ CANADA 8-12 Business Days\u003cbr\u003eREST OF WORLD 10-15 Business Days\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor seasonal occasions the above timeframes may differ and we ask that you order in advance so as to avoid delay and disappointment.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that your order may be subject to customs delays and import fees for which you are responsible for paying depending on your country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracked Shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe aim to dispatch your order within 2-5 business days upon receipt of your order.\u003cbr\u003eAll orders are tracked, you will receive a tracking number and notification via Shopify once your order has been dispatched.\u003cbr\u003eIf there are any foreseeable delays we will contact you immediately.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt would be great to hear from you on your shopping experience with us. \u003cbr\u003eFeel free to drop us a review.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCopyright © Vertigo Artography 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll Rights Reserved\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\/\/ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY NOTICE \/\/\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis original design \/ artwork is my intellectual property.
