Designed as a sequel to Rank & File: Drawing the English Civil War, also distributed by Helion & Company, this little book contains a selection of published and unpublished illustrations of romances, novels and factual narratives linked by the common theme of history executed by the famous Civil War artist Stephen Back. Here is a rare chance to see a wider range of sketches penned by Beck. "The past is a place we cannot revisit and yet it exerts an irresistible pull on our feelings and sense of identity". Stephen Beck brings to us illustrations that give visual expression to this urge to recreate the past, to bring it back to life and to give it meaning.
