A watercolour from 1941 by Puller depicts a brick and half-timbered cottage with a standpipe in the garden, where a child plays on the grass. Part of the Recording Britain collection, it was created under a wartime scheme to document the British landscape and national identity through topographical art. The project, funded by the Pilgrim Trust and directed by Sir Kenneth Clark, aimed to preserve scenes threatened by bomb damage, urban expansion, and shifting rural life during the Second World War. Over 1,500 works were produced by 97 artists between 1940 and 1943, focusing primarily on English locations.
