recto: [Cityscape]; verso: [Cityscape] Accession Number: ART93175.020

Description

The left hand side [upside down] of a sketch of a cityscape with a river in the foreground and barges full of people onboard. This could possibly be some sort of victory celebration towards the end of the First World War. The city is possibly Boulogne as it bears a similarity to ART12630.
Boulogne, was one of the three base ports most extensively used by the Commonwealth armies on the Western Front throughout the First World War.
The verso is the right hand side [upside down] of a sketch which is also a cityscape. It is from a high vantage point, possibly from a window of a tall building, depicting city roofs with chimney stacks, and streets, gardens and church spires. Again this city is probably Boulogne.
