Art and the War at Sea

As an alternative to countless books about the role of artists during the First and Second World Wars, this book draws on a vast collection of drawings, paintings, photography and posters held at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, to chronicle an artist’s vision of the wars at sea. The book focuses on the major arenas of naval conflict, life aboard battleships, aircraft carriers and submarines, the experiences of prisoners of war and the legacy of key maritime conflicts. Artists featured include Eric Ravilious, John Everett, Edward Wadsworth, John Worsley and Stephen Bone. This large-format hardback has 207 fully illustrated pages and is in very good condition.
