EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the heroic act of John Ellerthorpe, an engraving from the 19th century. In this powerful image, we witness a moment that epitomizes bravery and selflessness. The scene unfolds as Ellerthorpe finds himself a hundred yards away from the spot where a young boy is in distress. Undeterred by the crowd of idlers surrounding him, he fearlessly dashes through them to reach the troubled child. With unwavering determination, Ellerthorpe dives into unknown depths and resurfaces with the boy firmly in his grasp. This remarkable feat not only demonstrates his physical strength but also reveals his unwavering commitment to saving lives. The artist beautifully captures both the intensity of this life-saving moment and Ellerthorpe's triumph over adversity. Through their skilled craftsmanship, they bring forth an illustration that speaks volumes about courage and compassion. This striking image was originally featured in "Heroes of Britain in Peace and War" by Edwin Hodder around 1890. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, we can now appreciate its timeless beauty once again. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of art, let us be reminded of our own capacity for heroism and how even amidst a sea of onlookers or obstacles, one person's actions can make all the difference in someone else's life.
