DESCRIPTION

Provenance:
Maas Gallery

Presentation:
framed

Searchlights over London, quartering the night sky for Zeppelins, were an irresistible dramatic novelty to wartime artists, particularly Londoners. Unlike the Blitz in the Second World War, the blackout was very ineffective in the the First World War. Randoll was a minor illustrator who published views of London – the Guildhall Art Gallery has many of the originals.
