Description: | Portrait of a priest with long, grey beard. His name is not
known. He was one of the German civilians who were interned at
Alexandra Palace from 1915 for the duration of the Great War.
The artist George Kenner, was amongst their number. His daughter
Christa recalls how her father said it was very difficult to
undertake painting these portraits. The men were under the
watchful eye of guards at all times. On leaving the internment
camp he managed to smuggle his watercolour paintings out. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bruce Castle Museum, Haringey | Rights holder: | Haringey Culture, Libraries & Learning | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Communities Power and Politics London at War Art and Design | Temporal: | 5.1916 | Source: | Bruce Castle Museum (Haringey) | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
