Inspired by others, I saw this at https://manchesterartgallery.org yesterday:
Peake, Mervyn: The Glassblower 1944
Mervyn Peake is better known as the author of Gormenghast but was also an artist.
The War Artists Advisory Committee, as part of their work to compile artistic record of Britain during WWII, commissioned him to visit the specialist glass factory of Chance Brothers, Smethwick, Birmingham, to record the making of cathode ray tubes for radar. This is the result.
