| Comments: |
|
Personally executed by the artist on lithographic stones (note also DK400). Brangwyn’s initial design which showed a similar confrontation, caused a great deal of controversy in its time, and Brangwyn soon produced a second, marginally softer version in a horizontal “railway” format. Both designs were significant enough to warrant an entire chapter in the POWER OF THE POSTER (1998) by Margaret Timmers for The Victoria and Albert. Rare. (Censorship/ Battle/ War Savings/ Soldier) |
