EDITORS COMMENTS
General Booth: A Visionary Leader in Search of New Horizons (1912) by David Wilson This evocative drawing, titled "General Booth Looks for New Worlds to Conquer," captures the indomitable spirit and unyielding determination of William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army. Created by British artist David Wilson in 1912, this masterpiece is a testament to Booth's visionary leadership and his relentless pursuit of expanding the reach and impact of his humanitarian organization. Booth, born in Nottingham, England, in 1829, was a visionary who dedicated his life to helping the poor, the destitute, and the marginalized. He is depicted in this drawing with a determined gaze, his eyes fixed on the horizon, as if searching for new opportunities to bring hope and salvation to those in need. The artist, David Wilson, expertly captures the intensity of Booth's focus, using a combination of pencil, ink, watercolor, and bodycolor on paper. The title of the drawing, "Looks for New Worlds to Conquer," is a nod to Booth's unwavering commitment to expanding The Salvation Army's influence and reach. Booth's innovative approach to social reform and his refusal to accept the status quo made him a controversial figure in his time, but his impact on the world has been immeasurable. This powerful image of General Booth, created in 1912, serves as a reminder of the transformative power of visionary leadership and the enduring impact of one man's determination to make a difference in the world. Wilson's masterful use of pencil, ink, watercolor, and bodycolor on paper brings Booth's indomitable spirit to life, immortalizing him as a symbol of hope and perseverance.
