Our banner changes every few weeks. The above is a detail from C. R. W. Nevinson's On the Way to the Trenches, published in Blast, 1915. Blast was the short-lived literary magazine of Britain's Vorticist movement. Two editions were published: the first on 2 July 1914 and the second -- the 'War Issue' -- a year later, on 15 July 1915. Both editions were written primarily by Wyndham Lewis.
