An Artist's War: The Art and Letters of Morris & Alice Meredith Williams
During World War I, Morris Meredith Williams was commissioned to create artworks for the official record, despite his initial attempt to join the army being rejected due to his short stature. He spent ten months in and out of the trenches on the Western Front, producing an extraordinary record of his surroundings.
The book showcases the Meredith Williams' art, featuring a range of powerful and poignant images that capture the harsh realities of war, from touching portraits to stark depictions of the devastation it wrought.
