Great art of the Great War

This book has a wonderful collection of cartoons and other artwork produced during World War I. These mostly reflect the views of the British. A good addition to anyone's collection of WWI books, this covers an aspect barely touched on by other books on the conflict.

Highly recommended for art libraries strong in military art history

Over 200 illustrations taken from the archives of the Illustrated London News covers a range of newspaper and magazine images, from strip cartoons and line drawings to sketches and paintings. Highly recommended for art libraries strong in military art history, and for any collection strong in World War II archives.
