Another surviving watercolour is an illuminated
religious tract shown above (both this and the other
watercolour are on card, measuring around a foot
square.) A tract decorated with such care cannot but be
the work of a man with strong Christian faith. The
tract is from the Book of Revelation, which may
indicate that it was done amidst Luftwaffe assaults on
London during either of the world wars, which had
eschatological implications for some. In 1915 a
Zeppelin, encountering anti-aircraft fire from
Tottenham, dropped bombs there: later, the raids were
repeated – with a vengeance – during world war two.
Neither watercolour can be dated: but airborne assaults

certainly left marks on Tottenham.
