EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "La Belgique: 1914" takes us back to the tumultuous times of World War I. The image depicts an allegory of Belgium after its defeat by the Germans in 1914, as envisioned by artist Bernard Partridge. Published in King Albert's Book in 1915, this powerful illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the suffering endured during that dark period. The allegorical nature of the artwork allows for multiple interpretations. It symbolizes Belgium's resilience and strength amidst adversity, portraying the nation as a wounded but unbowed figure. The devastated landscape surrounding her represents the destruction caused by war, while her determined expression reflects defiance and hope for a brighter future. Ken Welsh's skillful printing brings out every intricate detail and emotion captured in Partridge's original drawing. From the delicate shading to the bold lines, each element contributes to creating a visually striking piece that demands attention. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a testament to human endurance and reminds us of our shared history. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a window into one country's struggle for survival against overwhelming odds—a story that continues to resonate with audiences today.
