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.

This is a beautiful book and gave me an appreciation of the skill that went into creating lithographs, as I didn't really have a clue before. Ravilious has become probably my favourite artist in the last few years and I have been thrilled to discover a link with my home town of Grimsby. He may not have enjoyed his stay there, but some really fine works resulted from it, including the lithograph, The Diver, so I can forgive that he was underwhelmed by what he saw of the town.
