Image description

A delicate, almost whimsical depiction of a landmine explosion in the Great War from this official war artist and long-lived illustrator. Two other versions of this subject are in the Imperial War Museum. In Letters to Helen, Chatto & Windus 1917, Henderson wrote a caption to his illustration of his Explosion of an Ammunition Dump (one of the other versions): 'The smoke from a large explosion usually assumes a queer tree-like form and disperses slowly.'
