Exhibition Catalogue - "Wartime Archies"

Art has been employed to boost the morale of troops on the front lines. Paintings, music, and other forms of artistic expression have been used to uplift the spirits of soldiers during challenging times. Artists have played a crucial role in documenting military events and battles. Before the advent of photography, artists were often the primary means of visually recording military campaigns, capturing scenes of battle, camp life, and the impact of war on landscapes and people. These artistic representations have provided historians with valuable insights into the conditions and events of various conflicts.
