Although his right arm was blown off by a shell, that he has rapidly acquired skill in painting with his left hand will be seen by the above specimen of his work, which was completed by the end of August.' Earnshaw's recovery and determination to overcome his injury is remarkable (the ISDN continued to publish a number of his pictures) but he never fully got over his injuries and died prematurely in 1937. Date: 1917
