EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph by George Derville Rowlandson, we witness a remarkable act of heroism during the chaos of World War I. The image depicts Lance-Corporal Holmes, a brave soldier in the British Army, stepping up to replace a wounded driver under heavy fire. As explosions rock the battlefield, Lance-Corporal Holmes fearlessly takes control of the gun and assists in driving it out of action. The intensity and bravery captured in this print are truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a poignant reminder of the countless acts of courage displayed by soldiers during the Great War. Despite facing unimaginable danger, these heroes remained resolute in their duty to protect their comrades and fight for their country. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but notice the presence of horses - loyal companions who stood alongside soldiers throughout history's darkest moments. These majestic animals played an integral role on the front lines, supporting troops with unwavering strength and resilience. Rowlandson's masterful engraving skillfully captures not only the physicality of battle but also conveys a sense of camaraderie among soldiers as they face adversity together. This artwork is a testament to human courage and sacrifice during times when ordinary individuals are called upon to perform extraordinary deeds. As we reflect on this powerful image from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, let us remember those who selflessly put themselves in harm's way for our freedom. Their unwavering bravery will forever be etched into history
