Description: The Western Front, Drawings by Muirhead Bone. Part IV, April 1917. Published in Garden City, NY by Doubleday, Page & Company in 1917.“Charles Masterman, head of the British War Propaganda Bureau, appointed Bone as the first official British war artist in May 1916. Bone had lobbied hard for the establishment of an Official War Artists scheme and in June 1916 he was sent to France with an honorary rank and a salary of £500. Bone's small, black and white drawings, and their realistic intensity, reproduced well in the government-funded publications of the day. Where some artists might have demurred at the challenge of drawing ocean liners in a drydock or tens of thousands of shells in a munitions factory, Bone delighted in them; he was rarely intimidated by complex subjects and whatever the challenge those who commissioned his work could always be sure that out of superficial chaos there emerged a beautiful and ordered design” [Wikipedia.]Paper covers, 9.5x12.5, 3 pages plus 20 black & white and tinted plates. Covers worn with rips and edge chips and some soil, pages clean.
