This poignant print captures a haunting scene from High Street, Coventry, believed to have been taken shortly after the infamous Blitz on November 14th, 1940. The image transports us back to a time when war ravaged this historic city and left its mark on every corner.

Wisps of smoke still rise from the smoldering ruins behind them—a chilling reminder of the relentless flames that once engulfed these streets. The desolation is palpable; buildings reduced to mere skeletons stand as silent witnesses to an unimaginable tragedy. Amidst this chaos, one cannot help but notice a tattered Union Jack fluttering defiantly in the wind—an emblematic symbol of resilience and unity amidst adversity.
