EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "On the field of honour, 1915" by Howard Chandler Christy depicts a poignant scene from World War I. The print showcases an injured soldier lying on the battlefield, surrounded by guardian angels and wreaths symbolizing honor and sacrifice. The wounded soldier's face reflects pain and exhaustion, his body bearing the visible wounds of war. Despite his injuries, he is not alone in this desolate place. Guardian angels hover above him, their presence offering solace and protection during this harrowing time. Intriguingly, amidst the chaos of battle, a fellow soldier extends a helping hand to his comrade-in-arms. This act of compassion highlights the camaraderie that emerges even in the darkest moments of conflict. Christy's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail with precision. The use of light and shadow adds depth to each figure present in this powerful composition. This lithograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers who fought bravely for their countries during World War I. It captures both the physical toll inflicted upon them and the unwavering spirit that kept them going despite adversity. Ken Welsh's Fine Art Finder has preserved this historical artwork for future generations to appreciate its significance within military history.
