Start with the museum collections

The Tate is the natural first stop. Lewis was a central figure in British modernism, the founder of Vorticism, and the publisher of BLAST in 1914, so the major British institutions have collected him seriously. The Tate's online collection lets you search his name and browse what it holds, from the large canvases to drawings and prints. The Imperial War Museum also holds work from his period as an official war artist in the First World War.

Museum databases are honest about what they are. You will see high resolution images, catalogue details and sometimes provenance, but you cannot buy anything there. They answer a different question from the one a print shopper is asking, which is what actually exists and what it looks like at scale. Spend an hour there first and any retailer's selection afterwards will make sense rather than seem arbitrary.

What print retailers actually carry

Here is the friction. Lewis is a canonical name but a thin retail presence. Unlike Monet or Klimt, whose prints number in the hundreds per retailer, Lewis typically appears in a short list of titles, often the Vorticist compositions and a handful of portraits. No single retailer is a Lewis destination. The practical method is to search two or three general print shops and compare what each carries.

When you find a title you like, check the reproduction before committing. Lewis's work depends on hard edges and flat planes of colour, which reproduce well but suffer from soft printing. It is worth reading up on the characteristics of his style first, since knowing what to look for makes a weak reproduction obvious. If you are weighing formats, the choice between canvas and framed poster matters more for his sharp geometry than it would for a soft landscape painter.

For orientation on the work itself, a guide to his common subjects will tell you whether the composition you found is typical or an outlier.

A note on originals and reproductions

Be clear about which market you are browsing. Original Lewis drawings and paintings surface at the major auction houses, and their archives are free to search and genuinely useful for browsing. But those are one-off sales of unique objects, with prices to match. A reproduction is a different purchase entirely, and no print retailer is selling you an investment.

If your goal is to live with the work, the auction archives are research and the retailers are the shop. The two answer different questions and it saves time to know which one you are in. Anyone claiming to authenticate or value a Lewis original is operating in a specialist field that reproduction sellers have no part in, and any honest print seller will say so plainly.
