EDITORS COMMENTS
The Reservists Farewell" is a poignant and evocative illustration by renowned English artist Ralph Hedley, originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1900. This colour print depicts a heartfelt moment of goodbye between a soldier in full military regalia and his loved ones at a bustling railway station. Dressed in khaki uniform, complete with pith helmet, the soldier bids farewell to his wife, who is wrapped in a shawl and tenderly holds their small son. The couple's sombre expressions convey the bittersweet emotions of parting, as the soldier prepares to embark on his journey to the Boer War in South Africa. The painting captures the essence of the late Victorian era and the profound impact of war on families, with the train in the background symbolizing the journey ahead and the uncertainty of the future. The scene is set in the northeastern part of England, possibly Tyneside, as indicated by the train's direction sign. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, evoking feelings of nostalgia, love, and the sacrifices made during times of conflict. The Reservists Farewell is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring bond between family and loved ones.
