Eric Ravilious, an influential British painter, designer, book illustrator, and wood-engraver, created "Submarine: Introductory Lithograph" as part of his work during World War II. Ravilious is renowned for his distinctive style that blends modernist sensibilities with traditional British landscape art. His works often capture the essence of the English countryside and maritime scenes, rendered with a keen eye for detail and a subtle use of color.

"Submarine: Introductory Lithograph" is a notable example of Ravilious's wartime art, produced during his tenure as an official war artist. Commissioned by the War Artists' Advisory Committee, Ravilious was tasked with documenting various aspects of the war effort, and his assignments took him to numerous military and naval installations. This particular lithograph is part of a series that delves into the life and operations aboard submarines, a subject that fascinated Ravilious and showcased his ability to depict complex machinery and confined spaces with clarity and precision.

The lithograph captures the interior of a submarine, highlighting the intricate details of the vessel's controls and the intense concentration of its crew. Ravilious's use of muted tones and careful composition conveys the claustrophobic yet orderly environment of the submarine, reflecting both the tension and the routine of life underwater. His work provides a unique artistic perspective on the technological and human elements of wartime naval operations.

Ravilious's contributions as a war artist were cut short by his untimely death in 1942, when he was reported missing in action after an air-sea rescue mission off the coast of Iceland. Despite his brief career, his wartime lithographs, including "Submarine: Introductory Lithograph," remain significant for their artistic merit and historical value, offering a poignant glimpse into the experiences of those who served during the war.
