This is the unique original Gouache painting by Harry Green.

While the bombs rained on wartime London, thousands of people were safe in the Underground stations, which were turned into shelters for the duration of the war.

Right inset shows an unopened part of the Underground which was used as an aircraft components factory to provide parts for the aircraft of the RAF.

This is the original artwork for illustration on pages 8-9 of Look and Learn issue no 947 (15 March 1980).
  • Artist Biography
    Harry Green (born 1920; UK)
    A little-known artist, Harry Green contributed extensively to Look and Learn in the 1970s and 1980s, illustrating a variety of subjects ranging from historical buildings to football. However, it was as a transport illustrator that he really made his mark in the 1980 with the series "Britain's Railway Wonders". Green also contributed illustrations to Speed & Power in the 1970s.

    His book illustrations include Architecture (1969), Architecture: The Great Art of Building (1969), Discovery of Australia (1969) and Discovery of South America (1970), some of which were jointly illustrated by Gwen Green who was also a prolific children's educational book illustrator.
