Spanish Refugee Family by Rachel Reckitt, oil on canvas

Fine Art, In Storage, FA02109

This is a rare scene of refugees from the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) who remained living in London during the Blitz. Reliant on charities, they were shockingly neglected and received no financial assistance from the Government or local authorities.
