EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking and humorous pen and ink drawing by the renowned British artist Harry Riley, created in 1945. The image captures a group of soldiers during military training, with one soldier noticeably falling behind the rest in their drill formation. The soldier in question is depicted with a quizzical expression on his face, as if pondering why he is lagging behind. The other soldiers in the drawing appear focused and determined, their expressions conveying a sense of urgency and discipline. Riley's use of bold lines and intricate detailing brings the soldiers and their drill sergeant to life, while the contrasting shades of ink add depth and texture to the image. The artist's signature, located in the lower right corner, attests to the authenticity and provenance of the work. This drawing was created during a pivotal moment in history, as the world was recovering from the devastation of World War II. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and dedication, particularly in the context of military training and the broader context of post-war reconstruction. The humorous tone of the drawing, however, also underscores the importance of maintaining a sense of humor and lightheartedness in even the most challenging of circumstances. Overall, "What are you lagging behind for?" is a captivating and timeless work of art that continues to resonate with audiences today.
