1917398817Glasgow Scotland 1917. Fine. Original lithograph printed in black approximately 18" x 14" on wove paper with full margins 24" x 16". Fine. Signed by Muirhead Bone in the bottom margin. A distinguished Scottish artist Bone was nicknamed the "London Piranesi" for his ability to depict vast and complex construction sites cathedrals and shipyards. On the outbreak of the World War the War Propaganda Bureau recruited him in May 1916 as Britain's first official war artist. After completing a series of drawings on the Western Front including the Battle of the Somme Bone returned to London to document the war effort. A fine example from his World War I scenes of shipbuilding yards. unknown
190418971904. Drypoint printed in brownish black ink on fibrous laid Japon paper 3 3/8 x 6 5/16 inches 85 x 161 mm full margins. Signed in pencil lower right. Light age tone and minor cockling. A lovely impression of this rare image with excellent burr. During the First World War 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. Although thirty-eight years old at the outbreak of war Bone was spared from certain enlistment by his appointment. Bone's small black and white images 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. <br /> <br /> Commissioned as an honorary second lieutenant Bone served as a war artist with the Allied forces on the Western Front and also with the Royal Navy for a time. He arrived in France on 16 August 1916 during the Battle of the Somme and produced 150 drawings of the war before returning to England in October 1916. Over the next few months Bone returned to his earlier subject matter producing six lithographs of shipyards on the Clyde for the War Propaganda Bureau's Britain's Efforts and Ideals portfolio of images which were exhibited in Britain and abroad and were also sold as prints to raise money for the war effort. unknown
