EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Banking at 4000 feet, c. 1918" takes us back in time to the early days of aviation during World War I. Created by the talented artist Christopher Richard Wynne Nevinson, this print measures 40x31.5 cm and is housed in Leeds Museums and Galleries (Leeds Art Gallery) in the United Kingdom. The image showcases a mesmerizing aerial view from a biplane's perspective as it soars through the sky at an impressive altitude of 4000 feet. The pilot skillfully maneuvers the aircraft, executing a graceful turn while passengers inside look out with awe and excitement. The propellers spin vigorously, propelling them forward on their journey. Nevinson's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of vast fields below, stretching out as far as the eye can see. This unique birds-eye view offers viewers a glimpse into what it must have been like for those brave individuals who took to the skies during wartime. As a war artist himself, Nevinson captures not only the thrill of flight but also hints at the dangers faced by pilots during this tumultuous period in history. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of World War I and its impact on both military personnel and civilians alike. With its impeccable composition and historical significance, "Banking at 4000 feet" stands as a testament to Nevinson's talent and serves as an important piece within Leeds Museums and Galleries' collection
