The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals: Building Aircrafts. Acetylene Welder. Nevinson, Christopher Richard Wynne (British, 1889-1946). Ministry of Information. An intimate view of a female welder at a workbench, hair tied back into a bun and wrapped in a headscarf and wearing protective goggles. Dramatic contrasts of light and dark centre around the bright sparks which fly as she employs the flame of acetylene gas to weld a part. A second, almost identical female welder, is seen further along the workbench to the right. Contained along with 6 lithographs inside a large portfolio (approx. 20"x27") of brown paper. A sheet with a central, red-printed rectangular box containing the stamp of the Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom (George V) as used by HM Government followed by the title, 'THE GREAT WAR: / BRITAIN'S EFFORTS / AND IDEALS / shown in a series of lithographic prints' / "BUILDING AIRCRAFT" / Six subjects by / C.R.W. NEVINSON / 37. "Making the Engine" ... 42. "Swooping down on a Taube". The capital 'A' printed at lower left is the insignia of the printers of the series, The Avenue Press. This is also seen on the label affixed to the mounts. The central box of the title page is pasted onto the front flap of the portfolio. Lithography, 1917.
