This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

An Onlooker in France 19171919 William Orpen Books Reviews
A short and enjoyable read. A compelling and authoritative account of conditions behind the fighting line during the latter part of WW1. Seen through the eyes of an artist. And a non-professional soldier. Good glimpses of social history also.
This book is essential to gaining an insight into Orpen's experiences of World War I and how this impacted upon the course of his artistic career. Written in Orpen's own words, this official war artist comes across as polite and gentlemanly, as indeed were his representations of the battlefield (if one compares them with the visceral quality of German artists' work). But it is very interesting to use this book in conjunction with knowledge of the restrictions imposed upon the artist by the British government, his war letters, and the fact that official war artists were expected to clean up the content of their pictures in order to keep morale up at home. Orpen's feeling for his comrades comes across very strongly and it is evident that had he had his way, his pictures would have exposed the slaughter of the war far more directly.
