About the Item

Anonymous Camp Northampton Charcoal sketch 34 x 43 cm At first glance, this charcoal sketch seemingly depicts three barns lining a country lane. The scene seems idyllic, trees and farmland forming a rural idyll. The caption of the sketch 'Camp Northampton' reveals it to be, however, a depiction of one of the seven Prisoner of War camps in Northamptonshire. These camps primarily housed German pilots who would work in the adjacent fields to support the farming industry. Some of these camps still stand today, their wooden shells acting as eery reminders of this dark past.
