About this product

Product Information

Thomas Hennell was an artist whose delightful water colours of rural subject are now much sought after. During the war, Thomas Hennell's skills were put to use as a war artist. Sadly, he was killed by terrorists in 1945. His wartime work is in the Imperial War museum and his rural subjects feature prominently in the Museum of Rural Life, Reading. This book features over 100 images of windmills and their machinery. Fortunately, the paintings and drawings included in the book were found in a barn by the author. They portray the workings and settings in the landscape of windmills in a way never captured on film.

A beautiful guide to decaying machinery and a lost way of life
Proof that yet another ‘lost’ war artist – although not as famous as his friend, Eric Ravilious – was a great draughtsman, painter, and observer of the changing world around him. The book exhibits not only the potential we have missed out on; but is a keen and interesting introduction to the workings of the windmills Hennell so beautifully captured. Captivating words and pictures; every single page is both beautiful and interesting. Highly recommended (especially to those who also lament the industrialization of the countryside, with its joint erosions of employment and skill).
