EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment in history - the departure of William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, as he enters the barge at Lambeth to be taken to the Tower of London in 1912. The image is part of "The Mighty Army" a book written by W. M. Letts and beautifully illustrated by Stephen Reid. In this evocative scene, we see a group of men gathered on the exterior deck of the barge, their figures silhouetted against the night sky. Clad in traditional British attire, they exude an air of solemnity and sadness. The towering Tower Bridge looms majestically behind them, symbolizing both strength and imprisonment. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that it represents more than just transportation or a historical event; it encapsulates profound emotions and concepts such as sorrow and loss. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power can face adversity and fall from grace. The skillful use of color adds depth to this century-old artwork, allowing us to imagine what life was like during that time period. Through this lithograph portrait created by Stephen Reid under William Laud's lordship, we are transported back to early 20th-century England - a time when literature played an essential role in capturing moments that shaped our collective memory. This print is not only an exquisite piece for art enthusiasts but also serves as a window into history for those seeking to understand the complexities of Britain's
