About the Item
Birth of a Bomber
Photographic reproduction
38 x 40 cm
'This is the story of the production of the Handley-Page "Halifax" heavy bomber. The Air Ministry of Aircraft production tell the manufacturers what kind of aircraft they want, and what they require it to do. First comes the design which has to be worked out in all its details by large numbers of designers and draughtsmen...'
Produced by the Ministry of Information, this pamphlet demystifies the processes that went into the design and manufacturing of the Second World War Halifax Bomber. The series begins with an engineer designing the blueprints of the aircraft and concludes with that very aircraft gliding through the skies. From the design, to the full-scale model, the testing, the assemblage and finally the flight, this pamphlet candidly brings to life each stage of the 'Birth of the Bomber', with accompanying captions detailing each step.
The Halifax bomber was first introduced to combat in November 1940, three months after the first bombing raid in Germany took place. Throughout the war, both the Halifax and Lancaster bombers proved themselves as steadfast four-engine military planes.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House, Los Angeles - Lithograph on Paper
Clean, modern lithograph of the Ennis House in Los Angeles by Frances Myers (American, 1936-2014). The Ennis House sits at the top of a small hill, cutting a strong line against a soft peach-colored sky.

Numbered, titled, signed and dated along the bottom edge:
7/50 Ennis House - Los Angeles Frances Myers 1980
Paper size: 29.5"H x 38"W
Print size: 24"H x 32"W

Myers was born on April 16, 1936, in Racine, Wisconsin. She began her studies at the San Francisco Art Institute, but soon transferred to the University of Wisconsin–Madison where she earned a BS in 1962, and an MFA in 1965.

Myers is best known for her prints depicting various buildings. She once said, “I don’t want to invent a building, I want to bring new life to a building.” Growing up in Racine, Myers was exposed to many of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural works, and she paid tribute to this in her 1980 work The Frank Lloyd Wright Print...
