Recording Britain

Recording Britain is a free display of watercolours and drawings from the early years of World War II, when bombs and development threatened lives, landscapes and historic buildings. You'll find it in Room 88a and The Julie and Robert Breckman Prints & Drawings Gallery, Room 90, in the V&A Museum, London, until 21 October (CLICK). The example shown is Kenneth Rowntree's watercolour Grainfoot Farm, Derwentdale, Derbyshire (1940) which was donated to the V&A by the Pilgrim Trust. The display compliments the museum's British Design 1948-2012 exhibition (CLICK).
