EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the renowned British artist H. H. Harris in the midst of his creative process during a sketching tour in aid of the RAF Comforts Fund in 1940. Dressed in a simple tweed jacket and holding a sketchbook and pencils, Harris sits intently beside a soldier, both focused on the scene before them. The setting is a pastoral idyll, with rolling hills and a serene lake in the background, a stark contrast to the turmoil of the Second World War raging across Europe. Harris, a prolific painter and illustrator, was a dedicated supporter of the RAF Comforts Fund, an organization that provided essential items and morale-boosting activities for servicemen and women. His sketching tours, which took place throughout the 1940s, allowed him to bring a touch of beauty and normalcy to the lives of those serving in the military. The soldier, dressed in his uniform, gazes intently at the scene being sketched, a rare moment of respite from the rigors of military life. The connection between artist and subject is palpable, a testament to the power of art to transcend the boundaries of war and bring people together. This photograph, taken during the forties, offers a glimpse into a moment of creativity and camaraderie during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. Harris's dedication to his art and his commitment to supporting the troops is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to inspire, heal, and bring comfort.
