EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Knights of Columbus, 1917" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Published during the First World War, this colourful lithograph captures the essence of patriotism and unity within the Catholic community in America. The image showcases a diverse group of men coming together under the banner of the Knights of Columbus. In this illustration, we see soldiers, sailors, and even a priest standing side by side with crucifixes held high. Their expressions reflect determination and faith as they gather for what appears to be a blessing before heading off to serve their country on the battlefields. The artist behind this masterpiece is William Balfour Ker (1877-1918), whose attention to detail brings each figure to life. Through his skilled brushstrokes, he not only pays homage to these brave individuals but also immortalizes an important chapter in American history. As we gaze upon this historic poster from our Historica Graphica Collection, it serves as a reminder of sacrifice and resilience during times of war. It symbolizes how religion can provide solace and strength amidst chaos and uncertainty. Let this remarkable artwork transport you back in time – an era where men stood united for their beliefs while facing unimaginable challenges on foreign soil.
