The Billited Soldiers Departure, c1786-1813
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of farewell and departure during the 18th and 19th centuries. Created by artist George Graham in 1909, this piece pays homage to the original work by George Morland. Set against a backdrop of charming British buildings, we witness a poignant scene unfold outdoors. A group of soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, bid their farewells as they prepare to depart for war. The emotions are palpable as men and women gather together to say their goodbyes. In this monochrome image with touches of red accents, our attention is drawn towards three central figures. A lady stands at the forefront clutching a book while her gaze lingers on one soldier who holds a drumstick in his hand. Perhaps he is part of an army band or simply providing musical accompaniment for this solemn occasion. The print exudes both nostalgia and anticipation as it encapsulates the concept of sacrifice and duty intertwined with love and longing. It serves as a reminder of Britain's history during times when conscription was prevalent. Through its intricate engravings and masterful portrayal of human emotion, "The Billited Soldiers Departure" transports us back to an era where warfare was commonplace but never devoid of heartfelt connections between individuals. This print truly showcases the artistic prowess of George Graham while paying tribute to George Morland's original vision.
