Description: Reproduction of 18 paintings, with full-page illustrations of Tube Shelter Perspective, 1941 drawing and Shelter Scene: Bunks and Sleepers, 1941 drawing, the latter in colour. He has painted a terrifying vista of recumbent shapes pale as all Underground life tends to be pale; regimented as only fear can regiment; helpless yet tense safe yet listening uncouth uprooted waiting in the tunnel for the dawn to release them. This is not the descriptive journalism of art. It is imaginative poetry of a high order."
