EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kite Balloons, Roehampton, 1915" takes us back in time to the era of World War I. The image showcases a scene at a military camp, where several tents are scattered across an open field. In the center of the frame, we see two enormous kite balloons majestically moored to the ground. The presence of soldiers and a goat adds a touch of humanity and liveliness to this otherwise serious setting. It's fascinating to observe how these men go about their duties, carefully observing their surroundings from high above in these manned observation balloons. These balloons were crucial for reconnaissance purposes during wartime. The artist behind this masterpiece is John Lavery, known for his contribution as part of the Glasgow Boys movement. His attention to detail and use of color lithography brings life and vibrancy to this historical moment. As we gaze upon this print, it transports us into an era long gone but not forgotten. We can almost feel the tension in the air as these brave individuals fulfill their duty on the front lines. This artwork serves as a reminder of both the sacrifices made by those who fought during World War I and also celebrates their ingenuity in utilizing innovative methods such as kite balloons for aerial surveillance.
