The aim was to stimulate public morale and support for the war effort.\r\nEighteen artists were commissioned, including Frank Brangwyn, Augustus John, Eric Kennington (an official war artist in both World Wars and sculptor of many war memorials), and C.R.W Nevinson. They were each assigned their subjects and had to work under strict censorship regulations.\r\nSeparated into two sets of portfolios titled ‘Ideals’ (12 prints) and ‘Efforts’ (54 prints) the former reinforced lofty goals such as The Triumph of Democracy, The Restoration of Serbia, and The Reconstruction of Belgium, while the latter illustrated key activities of the war effort such as munitions factories, women workers, training young soldiers, and agriculture in wartime.\r\n","physicalDescription":"Print depicting a shipyard from above, seen from a crane.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Bone, Muirhead","id":"A5395"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Ministry of Information","id":"A7822"},"association":{"text":"publishers","id":"AAT25574"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"paper (fiber product)","id":"AAT14109"}],"techniques":[{"text":"lithography","id":"AAT53271"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"lithograph on paper","categories":[{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"},{"text":"Propaganda","id":"THES48902"},{"text":"War","id":"THES257202"}],"styles":[{"text":"20th","id":"x36118"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2016JK3411"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLD","id":"THES49658"},"free":"","case":"ES","shelf":"9","box":"C"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"print","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1917","earliest":"1917-01-01","latest":"1917-12-31"},"association":{"text":"published","id":"x30682"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"CIRC.282-1919","id":"O1036451"},"association":"Duplicate"}],"creditLine":"Given by the Ministry of Information","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"460","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"2016","earliest":"2016-01-01","latest":"2016-12-31"},"part":"image","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"355","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"2016","earliest":"2016-01-01","latest":"2016-12-31"},"part":"image","note":""},{"dimension":"Height","value":"506","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"2016","earliest":"2016-01-01","latest":"2016-12-31"},"part":"sheet","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"402","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"2016","earliest":"2016-01-01","latest":"2016-12-31"},"part":"sheet","note":"402mm at its widest point (uneven edges to paper) "}],"dimensionsNote":"18.375 x 14.125 inches: Average size of print in series.
