This book reveals common themes running through his work such as weather plants animals and birds as well as Ravilious's love of depicting signs of human presence in the landscape including rusting machinery ships and aircraft and his famous illustrations of hillside chalk figures. Although best known for his watercolors Ravilious was also inspired to learn wood engraving by seeing the V& A's Samuel Palmer exhibition of 1926.
