Exhibition
Photograph of a mural depicting farming activities. It shows a man leaning on a tractor with fields of hay and cows in the background; the foreground shows a farm cart, milk churn etc. The artwork decorated the inside of the baffle walls protecting university buildings during the Second World War. It was painted by students of the evacuated Goldsmiths College, under the tuition of the artist and teacher Evelyn Gibbs. This may be the only surviving record, as the walls were taken down after the war.
