This image is also used as the background on our War Cabinet Twitter page www.twitter.com/ukwarcabinet where you can follow the progress of the Second World War in 1940, day by day.

Do you think it possible that this is actually by W K Rogman: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=159-wwp&... University Library, Department of Manuscripts and Special Collections#5-2-16

We don't know. We genuinely don't know anything about (K)rogman. If you do, please add the information to our Your Archives wiki: yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Krog... We're currently running a project to collect more information on the war art and artists in our collections.

Yes this is definitely by W.Krogman not W K Rogman. He was a war artist that supplied work to a company based in Cambridge Circus, London during the war who were called War Artists and Illustrators. My father also worked for them and used deliver artwork to a section of the Ministry of Information who,at the time, were based at Senate House, London. Many of the artwoks were bought for PR and Morale purposes, many of them were not bought and were then discarded by War Artists and Illustrators. Luckily my father managed to salvage a few original artworks and I now have several by W.Krogman and also an artist called R.W. Jobson later to work on three British Comic Book Annuals incorporating the character Captain Space Kingley. Hope that helps.

out class !

That's a strong image. Was this for a propaganda poster?

Yes, the Ministry of Information would have commissioned this with a view to using it in their publications (posters, pamphlets etc.)

This painting was depicting the RAF conducting an air raid over Germany at night. But which city in Germany was depicted in this painting?
