Description
Called the "King of Correspondents" Henry W Nevinson (1856-1941) captured the political zeitgeist of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Drawing on Nevinson's private diaries which span nearly 50 years, this work captures the story of a figure whose perspectives illuminate many of the conflicts which resonate in an uncertain society.
