Nautical Terms Illustrated - Anchored by Harold Earnshaw
Illustration showing an old sea salt finding himself in a bit of a fix after his wooden legs has caught in a drain grill and snapped. Earnshaw was a successful artist who joined the Artists Rifles at the outbreak of war. He was a Lance-Corporal with the Sussex Regiment when his right arm was blown off on the Somme in February 1916. He taught himself to draw with his left and continued to work for magazines such as The Bystander and the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in which this picture was published. Despite making such a remarkable recovery he died prematurely in 1937 at the age of just 52. A number of his illustrations from this period use the themes of amputation or injury, possibly based on personal experience.
