Gallipoli Mission [cover design]
Description
Cover design for Bean's book 'Gallipoli Mission', which was not used. Three figures are grouped in the lower right; George Lambert (official war artist), Zeki Bey (Turkish officer), and Charles Bean (official war correspondent). They are standing at ANZAC Cove with Lambert painting the scene. Bean originally went ashore at Gallipoli on 25 April 1915 and remained in the area for the campaign. He returned to the Dardanelles in February 1919 with the Australian Historical Mission and published 'Gallipoli Mission' in 1948.
