Description

4 vols., 8vo., First Edition, with 194 toned full-page illustrations in the text; original pictorial wrappers, a very good, bright, clean set. No.1: Women; No. 2: Production; No. 3: Soldiers; No. 4: Air Raids. Complete set of the second series with fine reproductions of paintings, drawings and sketches by virtually all Britain's leading war artists. The contributors naturally featured many of the most eminent artists of the period, including (among many others) Ardizzone, Bawden, Bone, Kennington, Moore, Nash, Piper, Ravilious, Rothenstein, Spencer, Sutherland, Topolski and Worsley. The first series (dealing primarily with the fighting forces) was published in the preceding year. This second series deals with the Home Front and was issued without the dustwrappers present in the earlier series. UNCOMMON AS A SET AND ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
