30 watercolour and gouache illustrations of early 20th century Airships, Warships, Paddle Steamers, Biplanes & Flying Boats from a period of modernisation in travel and a time of bravery from those who pushed the boundaries. The show has a number of very redolent works which take you back to a time and a place be it over No Man’s Land in the First World War, the race to find the fastest seaplane in the late 1920s with the Schneider Trophy as the prize or a gentle Sunday pleasure cruise on the Thames. The artists achieved their aim of making a memorable picture which would sell a book or start a cigarette card collection. This has only increased with time as we look back at this
