| Description |
English: Poole harbour, Dorset Norman Wilkinson is best-known as the inventor of ‘dazzle’ camouflage during the First World War, a poster artist, and his dramatic scenes of the war at sea. Here, he depicts a scene far removed from the turmoil of war, with a peaceful view of the natural harbour of Poole, in Dorset.
Poole was once a major maritime centre, notably for freight transport, but aso for leisure vessels, as seen here. |
