The Message

A future invasion of England, written in 1907 to argue that the country was undefended and would not notice until it was too late. Dawson was a naturalist and traveler who turned his hand to the invasion scare then filling the newspapers. This edition includes a gallery of 58 plates of paintings bound with the text, with works by Walter Sickert, William Logsdail and Henry Tanworth Wells, dating from 1750 to 1927.
