The Smile of Victory, 1914-19
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of triumph and resilience amidst the chaos of World War I. In this lithographic print by Charles Mills Sheldon, we witness a soldier adorned in his uniform, proudly displaying a smile that radiates contentment and heroism. The image portrays a male British soldier who has emerged victorious from the battlefield. Despite bearing visible injuries with bandages wrapped around his head and arm, he exudes an air of happiness and satisfaction. His triumphant expression reflects not only personal achievement but also represents the collective spirit of those who fought during this great war. With bayonet fixed on his rifle and cigarette in hand, this soldier embodies patriotism as he proudly holds up a trophy - symbolizing his victory over adversity. The three-quarter length composition allows us to appreciate every detail: from the pickelhaube helmet to the meticulous engraving work that brings depth to the artwork. Beyond its artistic value, "The Smile of Victory" serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and courage exhibited by soldiers during World War I. It highlights their unwavering determination despite enduring physical wounds caused by battle. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' collection, providing us with an opportunity to reflect upon history's defining moments through art. It encapsulates both the tragedy and triumph experienced during one of humanity's darkest periods while honoring those who served their countries selflessly on behalf of future generations.
