EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the solemnity and symbolism of war. Titled "On The Field Of Honour" it depicts a fallen soldier being honored with a wreath by a winged angel, as illustrated by H. Chandler Christy in King Albert's Book, published in 1915. The image serves as an allegory for the sacrifices made on the battlefield during World War I. The dead soldier represents countless lives lost in the pursuit of honor and victory. The wreath bestowed upon him symbolizes respect and remembrance for his bravery and sacrifice. The presence of the winged angel adds an ethereal element to the scene, suggesting divine intervention or guidance amidst the chaos of battle. It evokes a sense of hope and comfort, reminding viewers that even in death, soldiers are not forgotten but immortalized as heroes. This photograph is more than just propaganda; it encapsulates both the tragedy and heroism experienced during this great conflict. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war while also honoring those who fought valiantly on behalf of their country. Ken Welsh's skillful reproduction ensures that this historical moment remains preserved for future generations to reflect upon and pay tribute to those who gave their lives on the field of honor.
