Ravilious: Submarine

In 1940 Eric Ravilious was a war artist and based in Portsmouth with the Royal Navy. It was here, aboard a training vessel, that he created the preliminary drawings for his remarkable Submarine Series of lithographs. After an extensive and richly illustrated introduction to Ravilious's life and artistic career, this volume tells the story of the lithographs and presents the whole series, along with reproductions of drawings and watercolours and short essays on the world of the submariner.
