Abstract
Before the First World War the twins Edward and Maurice Detmold were among the most successful book illustrators in Britain, but their close creative relationship was severed by Maurice's suicide in 1908. Edward's subsequent career has been neglected by historians but an unpublished set of drawings made in 1933, 'The Sword and the Gold', helps to elucidate his turn towards biting social commentary, perhaps prompted by the treatment he received as a conscientious objector.
