EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this colour lithograph, we witness a powerful scene of courage and resilience amidst the chaos of war. The wounded piper, with his bagpipe in hand, sits still yet emanates an aura of unwavering determination. As he plays his haunting melody, the troops are uplifted and inspired to achieve victory. This artwork is an illustration from "My Book of Brave Men" published by Blackie around 1905. It beautifully captures a moment that epitomizes the indomitable spirit found within brave soldiers who face adversity head-on. The image showcases not only physical bravery but also highlights the crucial role played by medical services during times of conflict. The injured piper's wounded limb serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made on the battlefield and emphasizes the importance of healthcare and medicine in restoring soldiers' physical health. Symbolically, this piece alludes to Asklepios, the Greek god associated with healing and medicine. Just as Asklepios encouraged good courage among warriors in ancient mythology, so too does this wounded piper inspire his comrades to persevere through their injuries. Through its vivid colours and intricate details, this print immortalizes a moment where music becomes a source of strength for those fighting for victory. It reminds us that even in times of great adversity, acts of bravery can lead to triumph against all odds.
