EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative portrait captures the essence of David Wright, a prolific illustrator whose work graced the walls of military establishments across the United Kingdom during World War II. Wright, dressed in his army uniform, stands confidently before the camera, a testament to his service and dedication. During the 1940s, Wright produced an impressive series of over 160 illustrations, affectionately known as "David Wright's Lovelies." These captivating pin-ups were created for The Sketch, a leading British magazine, and quickly became a beloved staple among the military community. The popularity of Wright's Lovelies was unprecedented, with the illustrations adorning practically every military mess, bunker, dormitory, and club room in the country. The images brought a touch of home and a sense of normalcy to the harsh realities of war, providing a much-needed morale boost for the troops. Historically significant, these illustrations are a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique insight into the lives and experiences of the men and women who served during World War II. This portrait of David Wright, the man behind the art, serves as a poignant reminder of the impact his work had on the morale of the military during this pivotal period in history. This photograph, taken during the 21st decade of the 20th century, is an important addition to any collection dedicated to military history, art history, or the social history of World War II. It is a reminder of the human stories that lie behind the statistics and the headlines, and a testament to the power of art to inspire, uplift, and connect us."
