EDITORS COMMENTS
Captain Fox, a portrait of British Rear-Admiral Cecil Henry Fox, captures the essence of a distinguished naval officer during the tumultuous times of World War I. This print, taken in 1919 by an unknown creator, showcases Captain Fox's commanding presence and unwavering determination. As the commander of HMS Amphion on that fateful day in August 1914, Captain Fox found himself at the forefront of history when his ship struck a German mine and sank. This tragic event marked one of the earliest casualties of the Great European War. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by brave men like Captain Fox during this devastating conflict. Dressed impeccably in his naval uniform with an Eton collar, Captain Fox exudes strength and resilience. His piercing gaze reflects both wisdom and experience gained through years spent serving in the Royal Navy. The monochrome aesthetic adds to the gravity and solemnity captured within this image. This historic photograph is part of "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects". Volume II authored by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. Published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London in 1919, it stands as a testament to those who fought valiantly for their country amidst unprecedented global turmoil. Through this remarkable portrait, we are reminded not only of Captain Fox's individual bravery but also pay homage to all those who served selflessly during World War I.
