As the maestro of double entendres, Donald McGill (1875-1962) has both received high acclaim and caused much scandal. Prosecuted in 1957 for obscenity, his images no longer shock the enlightened audience but continue to amuse and delight.
Wyllie is noted for his depictions of naval subjects and engagements of 1914-1918. This book presents for the first time a balanced and thoroughly illustrated general assessment of an artist in the great tradition of British marine art.
