EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Guard, Brussels, 1898" takes us back to the enchanting streets of Belgium in the late 19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than James Batkin, who skillfully captured the essence of Belgian culture and history through his lens. In this image, we see a distinguished male guard standing tall in his uniform with an imposing hat adorned on his head. His attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, showcasing the intricate details of 19th-century clothing. Holding a weapon consisting of both a bayonet and gun, he embodies strength and authority as he stands sentinel on a city street. The backdrop reveals glimpses of daily life in Brussels during that time - people strolling along the road while going about their business. This scene transports us to another era where soldiers like him played crucial roles in maintaining peace and security within their country. James Batkin's monochromatic approach adds depth to this photograph by emphasizing contrast and highlighting every detail meticulously. Through this artwork, we are reminded not only of Belgium's rich heritage but also of the significance of warfare during that period. As admirers gaze upon this print today, they can't help but appreciate how it encapsulates an important chapter from our past – one filled with bravery, tradition, and historical significance.
