The Coal Line, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating pencil drawing by Canadian artist Frank Milton Armington. This poignant artwork, housed in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Canada, transports us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. In this evocative scene, Armington skillfully depicts a bustling street filled with horse-drawn coal carts and a thronging crowd. The lines on the paper seem to echo the long queues that formed during this time of scarcity and rationing. The hardships faced by civilians are palpable as they patiently wait for their turn to secure much-needed fuel. The artist's attention to detail brings forth not only the physical challenges but also captures the resilience and determination of those living through these difficult times. The horses depicted symbolize both labor and companionship during an era when animals played crucial roles in everyday life. Armington's drawing serves as a powerful reminder of the impact war had on ordinary people - from shortages and rationing to enduring hardships unimaginable before. It invites us to reflect on our own history while acknowledging the sacrifices made by previous generations. This remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to connect with a pivotal moment in history through artistry and emotion. As we gaze upon "The Coal Line" we are transported back in time, compelled to contemplate how humanity perseveres even amidst adversity.
