Focusing on ships and silos, with little sign of human life, this scene is about the machinery of war.
During the First World War, John Everett was at first unable to sketch outdoors due to wartime security regulations, but in the spring of 1918, the Ministry of Information asked him to depict London river scenes and provided Everett with a permit to draw. Everett was attracted to depicting ships that were covered in dazzle painting or camouflage and it is these that are among his most daring works, having been displayed at the Goupil Gallery in London in November 1918.); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of wartime industry, showcasing the cargo ships 'Middleham Castle' and 'Bolton Castle' as they discharge grain in 1918. Painted by John Everett, this piece focuses on the machinery of war, with ships and silos dominating the scene while human life remains scarce.
During World War I, Everett faced restrictions on outdoor sketching due to security regulations. However, in 1918 he was granted permission by the Ministry of Information to depict London river scenes. This opportunity led him to create bold and daring works like this one, featuring ships adorned with dazzle painting or camouflage.
The intricate details captured in gouache and pastel bring these vessels to life, highlighting their vital role in supporting wartime efforts. The artist's keen eye for composition is evident as he masterfully portrays the bustling activity of grain being unloaded from these massive ships.
Displayed at the Goupil Gallery in London in November 1918, Everett's work serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during times of conflict. This print from the National Maritime Museum offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when every aspect of society played a crucial role in shaping our world.
