EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color lithograph, we are transported back to the height of World War I as Lieutenant Rhodes-Moorhouse fearlessly takes to the skies above Courtrai. The image captures a moment of both heroism and danger, as he embarks on a daring mission to bomb the railway on April 26,1915. The artist, Allan Stewart, beautifully depicts the intensity and bravery required in aerial warfare during this time. Lieutenant Rhodes-Moorhouse's plane soars high above the town of Courtrai, its wings cutting through the sky with purpose. The vibrant colors bring life to an otherwise grim scene of war. This print was originally created for "Deeds That Thrill The Empire" a book that aimed to honor those who fought valiantly for their countries during World War I. It serves as a testament not only to Lieutenant Rhodes-Moorhouse's individual courage but also to all those who served in the Royal Flying Corps. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it is impossible not to feel a sense of awe at these early aviators' audacity and determination. Their acts of heroism shaped history and paved the way for modern aviation. Lieutenant Rhodes-Moorhouse's bombing raid over Courtrai stands as a symbol of resilience and sacrifice amidst one of humanity's darkest chapters. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, individuals can rise above themselves and accomplish extraordinary feats.
