Physical description

Single sheet, printed in black ink on one side only. Plate mark is visible along some edges. From Children in Wartime - Five lithographs by Ethel Gabain.

Label

The notes from the portfolio read 'Southend, as an 'unhealthy' coastal area, is just one of the 120 or so evacuation areas - most of the others being densely-crowded industrial cities and towns. The children, after being marshalled at the school assemby points, arrive at the entraining stations in the charge of their teachers and voluntary escorts. Each child brings spare clothes, gas mask, identity card, ration book, and food for the day; and wears a label. More than a million school children have travelled like this, and thanks to the staffs of the local authorities, the teachers and the voluntary workers, the moves have gone like clockwork.'
