EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pen and ink drawing captures the intensity and focus of Maurice Henry Morgan Watts as he diligently records the events of the European theater of World War II. Drawn in 1944 by artist D Gilchik, the portrait presents Watts in profile, dressed in his military service attire, with quill pen in hand and a determined expression on his face. The background is left blank, drawing the viewer's attention to the war correspondent and the task at hand. Maurice Henry Morgan Watts was a dedicated and brave journalist who covered the European front lines during the pivotal years of 1944 and 1945. His reports provided invaluable insights and firsthand accounts of the war to audiences back home, offering a glimpse into the realities of the conflict. The drawing captures the essence of Watts' commitment to his work, as he documents the unfolding history of the war. The portrait is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by war correspondents during times of conflict. With the backdrop of the European theater of war, the drawing underscores the importance of journalism in keeping the public informed and connected to the events of the time. The intricately detailed drawing style of D Gilchik adds depth and texture to the portrait, making it a compelling and evocative piece of historical art.
