Original WWII Pen & Ink Sketch – Living Quarters, HQ North Area, Kenya By Alan Tabrum
This charming and historically evocative framed pen and ink (with watercolour wash) drawing captures the interior of British military living quarters during World War II in Kenya. The scene depicts a simple wooden barrack hut with a sloped ceiling, wooden table and benches, a stool, a door, and personal items — a quiet, atmospheric record of daily life for soldiers stationed far from home.
Alan Tabrum (British illustrator and advertising artist who served during WWII and created a series of on-site sketches and watercolours during his time in East Africa).
The original handwritten label on the reverse reads: "Original World War II Watercolour painting / Living quarters at HQ North Area Kenya. By Alan Tabrum."
A wonderful piece for collectors of militaria, WWII art, African colonial history, or British 20th-century illustration. Tabrum’s wartime sketches from Kenya are increasingly sought after for their authentic, intimate view of service life in the 1940s.
Condition: Ready to hang and in good condition for its age. A genuine piece of history with character and charm. Perfect for a study, library, or military history display.
