Abstract
Exploration of six lithographs from 1917 on the subject of 'Building Aircraft' by C.R.W. Nevinson and of six on the subject of 'Making Soldiers' by Eric Kennington within the context of the 1917 set of 166 British lithographic propaganda prints entitled 'Britain's Efforts and Ideals.' The prints were first exhibited in London in July 1917. My essay discusses why the designs specifically produced by Nevinson and Kennington were the most popular with the British public - among contribution by 16 other leading British artists.

Bibliographical note
Impact: My essay, commissioned by UCL Press in summer 2014, formed part of a series of essays in honour of the eminent art historian of Nineteenth Century British Art, Professor David Bindman (UCL and Yale University). It comprised 4,000 words with 4 plates for illustration.For many years to come this volume will be the volume to consult when determining Professor Bindman's impact on the History of Art within the UK between c. 1989 (when he was appointed Professor of History of Art at UCL) to 2012 (when he retired from his post).
