EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, David Wright, a renowned illustrator and artist, is captured in the midst of his creative process during his service with the Royal Artillery in 1942. Commissioned by The Sketch in January 1941, Wright went on to produce an impressive series of 169 illustrations and one cover for the fortnightly publication. The illustrations, titled "David Wright's Lovelies," became an enormous success during the World War II period, establishing Wright as the most prominent pin-up artist of the time. The Lovelies, as they came to be known, depicted glamorous ladies wearing sheer clothing or in various states of undress. These captivating images were inspired by Wright's wife, Esme, and proved to be a huge hit with the public. Esme's likeness was the model for these enchanting ladies, and her allure and charm shone through in each illustration. Wright's work for The Sketch was produced during his time with the Royal Artillery, between 1912 and 1967. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the life of this talented artist during a pivotal moment in his career. The Lovelies series not only provided a welcome distraction for the public during the war but also cemented Wright's place in the annals of art history. This photograph of David Wright, captured in the midst of his artistic endeavors, serves as a testament to his creativity, talent, and the enduring appeal of his work. It is a fascinating snapshot of a bygone era and a reminder of the power of art to inspire and captivate.
