Picture No 10731344
Date 1915
Description The Country House Season 1915 by Charles Robinson, WW1
Details

'House party at Castle Bareacres coming down to dinner during the munitions season.' A pastiche on the traditional, upper class house party of the pre-war era, showing aristocratic visitors instead dressed in work clothes and leaving the factory floor to descend down a grand staircase for dinner. Barrels of cordite, picric acid and other explosive material can be seen pilled up by a suit of armour. The bewigged footman is temporarily interrupted from war work too. He wears a War Service badge and hides a saw behind his back.
