EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "There is a great Field Marshall, my friend, who arrays our battalions" we are transported to a scene of faith and camaraderie. The artwork, created by John Byam Liston Shaw in the late 19th century, depicts a group of men gathered outdoors in what appears to be a military setting. The central figure, dressed in regal attire and holding a horn instrument, exudes authority as he overlooks the battalion before him. Surrounding him are fellow soldiers and bystanders, all engaged in conversation or deep contemplation. The atmosphere is one of reverence and trust. The composition draws inspiration from Arthur Hugh Clough's poem "The Bothie of Tober-na-vuolich" which speaks to the power of divine providence and the importance of fulfilling one's duty within their assigned station. This theme resonates strongly throughout the image. As we observe this Victorian-era artwork through the lens of modernity, it serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is solace to be found in faith and friendship. It prompts us to reflect on our own relationships with both higher powers and those around us. Captured beautifully by Bridgeman Images' photography skills, this print invites viewers into an intriguing narrative where religion meets military life—a testament to art's ability to transcend time and capture universal human experiences.
