EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative still life painting, titled "They also serve who only stand and wait" by George Robinson, captures the essence of the unsung heroes of World War I - the Special Constables. Dated circa 1916, this poignant work of art portrays a moment of respite for a Special Constable, a volunteer police officer, during his long hours of duty. The setting is the home front, a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The Special Constable, dressed in his peaked cap and whistle, is seen leaning against a wall, his weary expression reflecting the heavy burden of responsibility he bears. His matchbox and pipe suggest a moment of relaxation, a brief escape from the relentless demands of his duty. The striped armband on his sleeve is a clear indication of his status as a Special Constable. A notebook and pencil are visible on the table, hinting at the administrative tasks that would have filled his downtime. A flask and cigarettes are also present, offering a glimpse into the simple pleasures that helped him get through long shifts. The use of color in the painting adds a sense of warmth and humanity to the scene, making the viewer feel a deep connection to the subject. George Robinson's painting is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by Special Constables during World War I. They may not have been on the frontlines, but their contributions were invaluable, and their vigilance helped keep the home front safe and secure. This painting is a testament to their unwavering dedication and the quiet heroism that defined the war effort.
