"Recording Britain"

http://www.vam.ac.uk/content/articles/r/recording-britain-collection/

"Recording Britain was intended to boost national morale by celebrating the country’s natural beauty and architectural heritage, but it was also a memorial to the war effort itself." This collection was set-up by Sir Kenneth Clark to employ Artists on the Home Front to contribute to a record of Britain at a time of change.

This scheme will be very interesting to research in relation to the war artists work at home, and how it may contrast to the style of work on the front line.
