June Wayne established the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles in 1960 and was a key figure in the revival of interest in printmaking, especially lithography, in the USA in the 1960s and 1970s.
The print historian (and donor of this print) Pat Gilmour made the following catalogue note on this work: ‘During the war, Wayne studied production illustration in order to make a contribution to the war effort. This print…was drawn to show workers how the parts they were cutting would go together to make a DC4 aeroplane. Nacelle is the name for the structure clothing an aeroplane’s engine, controlling gear and propellers.’
