EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the heart of World War II. The illustrated music sheet cover for "When They Sound The Last All Clear" by Hugh Charles and Louis Elton, recorded and broadcast by the iconic Vera Lynn, takes us back to circa 1941.
In this image, we see the legendary singer herself in a portrait photograph, embodying hope and resilience during wartime. The music notes emanating from the church bells symbolize a sense of peace and relief after the chaos of war.
The intricate details on this WW2-era artwork transport us to a time when music served as a beacon of light in dark times. It is a reminder of the power that songs held in lifting spirits and uniting people during one of humanity's darkest hours.
Located at Irwin & Dash on 17 Berners St, London, this piece is not just an illustration but a testament to the strength and courage displayed by individuals like Vera Lynn who used their talents to bring solace to those affected by conflict.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember all those who lived through these tumultuous times and honor their enduring legacy.
