"The English People" is an essay by English author George Orwell, first published in August 1947. It was commissioned in September 1943 by W. J. Turner, Collins's General Editor, for the series 'Britain in Pictures.' The idea for the series came from the Ministry of Information. It was published with twenty-five illustrations, eight of which were full-page color plates, and included work by artists Edward Ardizzone, Dame Laura Knight, L. S. Lowry, Henry Moore, John Minton, and Feliks Topolski amongst others. Written during World War II, it presents Orwell's vision of what it meant to be "English."
