War pictures, issued by authority of the Imperial War Museum
War pictures is a 1919 London album of British art issued by the Imperial War Museum, published by Walter Judd Ltd. and collecting artists' records of the First World War for a general public. The plates are sepia-toned or grey reproductions of paintings and drawings, several printed sideways on the page, showing trench lines, battlefield ruins at Ypres, and wartime London streets. A designer could draw on their dense panoramic compositions, rubble-strewn horizons and crowded street scenes for period atmosphere.
