Our Home And Country

Between May 1914 and September 1915, Arthur Comfort produced a series of drawings which were published in the The Halifax Weekly Courier.

The drawings covered one district per week. Each drawing was made up of 3 or 4 smaller sketches. Each drawing was accompanied by a short article.
