This is the title page for a folio of drypoints and one watercolour from drawings made in captivity 1942-1945 on the Burma-Thailand railway. The folio of dry points was made from the original drawings that Ray Parkin entrusted to Weary Dunlop while they were prisoners of war (POWs) together in Thailand. Dunlop delivered the collection of drawings and paintings to Parkin on his return to Melbourne. As an expression of gratitude to Dunlop for hiding the drawings at great risk to his own safety, Parkin proceeded to make prints of the drawings and presented them to Dunlop in a bound folio in 1956. A single watercolour dated 1943, is the only original painting from Parkin's POW experience to be included in the folio.
