Dustcover over green boards with gilt vignette-Soldier on Horesback to front board and gilt lettering to spine. Introduction by Jane Carruthers.

Artists and Illustrations of the Anglo-Boer War is the definitive work on Anglo-Boer War art, as it provides detailed coverage of all the known artists and illustrators who depicted the conflict. Although many other aspects of the War have received attention, the publication of this book marks the first occasion that the artistic products of the War have been analyzed in any detail. The result of years of painstaking research, it contains significant information that has never been pubished before. An introduction by historian Jane Carruthers places military art in historical perspective.

Parts 1-4 provide a general and extensive overview of the main vehicles of Anglo-Boer War art-ranging from illustrated newspapers and magazines to postcards, postal covers, souvenir publications and works produced by prisoners of war. Part 5 comprises biographies of over 1100 Anglo-Boer War artists.

For specialists and collectors of Anglo-Boer War art, there are appendices listing the initials used by many of the artists; the names, initials and publishers of postcard artists; details of major artists who exhibited at the principal British galleries, including the 60 or so who showed work at the Royal Academy; and a list of Boer War related covers of the major French illustrated magazines.

The 200 colour and 250 black and white pictures cover the widest possible range of artists and media and give a fascinating perspective of the War.
