Sir Muirhead Bone was a Scottish etcher who served as the first Official British War Artist during the First World War. He was in France in 16 August, 1916 during the Battle of Somme and much of this work was created from his observations there. Muir's work was featured in the British War Propaganda Bureau's "Britain's Efforts and Ideals" exhibitions.
