EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph by Edwin Landseer Lutyens. This private collection print showcases Lutyens' initial design for the iconic war memorial in Whitehall, London. Created in 1919 as part of "The Owl" a Miscellany publication, this satirical drawing offers a unique perspective on British culture and society during the aftermath of World War I. Lutyens' sketch depicts the grandeur and solemnity of the Cenotaph with intricate architectural details and powerful symbolism. The flags fluttering above it represent remembrance and honor to those who sacrificed their lives in battle. This thought-provoking image captures both the grief and resilience that defined Britain's wartime experience. As a satirical cartoon, this artwork also serves as scathing satire towards war itself. It critiques not only the devastating effects of conflict but also questions societal values during such tumultuous times. Through clever caricature and biting commentary, Lutyens challenges viewers to reflect on the consequences of war while highlighting its lasting impact on European nations. This print from Bridgeman Images provides an opportunity to delve into history through art. It transports us back to early 20th-century England when Europe was reeling from one of its deadliest conflicts – World War I. With its meticulous detail and evocative composition, "Sketch No 1 for the Cenotaph" invites contemplation about sacrifice, loss
