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.

Decorated Boards. Etat : Near Fine. First Edition. 72 pp., numerous illustrations. Ravilious: Submarine celebrates the creation of a remarkable series of prints, made by Eric Ravilious during the dark winter of 1940/41. Rare was the artist who descended into the depths to portray the gloomy, cramped interior of a naval submarine, yet it is not just the subject matter that makes the Submarine Series so powerful; the medium too is extraordinary. One of the most difficult and demanding of the printmaker's arts, auto-lithography enjoyed a golden period in Europe between the wars, and in Britain this series represents a pinnacle of achievement. In this lavishly illustrated 72 page book James Russell explores the sequence of events that gave us Ravilious the lithographer, a story that introduces Soviet revolutionaries in Moscow, Russian à migrà s in Paris, Jewish immigrants in the East End of London and a host of visionary printers, publishers and designers. All ten lithographs in the Submarine Series are shown, each accompanied by a short descriptive essay which explores the scene depicted, introducing people and giving insights into the strange, dangerous life of a submariner during World War Two. 9780955277795 Oblong 4to.
