EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures H.H. Harris, a renowned cartoonist and poster-maker of the time, as he sketches a serviceman during his tour of the Midlands in 1940. Harris, who is seated in his caravan, was traveling around the country to provide entertainment and raise funds for the R.A.F. Comforts Fund. The Second World War was in full swing, and Harris's illustrations offered a much-needed morale boost for the troops and civilians alike. For a mere half a crown, visitors could have their portraits sketched by the talented artist, with all proceeds going directly to the R.A.F. Comforts Fund. The image of Harris at work in his caravan, surrounded by his sketching materials and with a serviceman posing for him, encapsulates the spirit of the home front during wartime. The touring artist's efforts were part of a larger fundraising effort to provide comfort and support to the troops, who were facing immense challenges on the battlefront. Harris's sketches were a source of pride and joy for those who received them, offering a precious reminder of home and the people they loved. The photograph itself is a poignant testament to the power of art and creativity to uplift and inspire, even in the most challenging of times.
