EDITORS COMMENTS
A Sixty-Five Pounder Opening Fire" is a powerful and evocative drypoint print by the renowned British artist James McBey, created in the aftermath of the First World War. This striking image captures the raw energy and intensity of a Sixty-Five Pounder gun in action during a bombardment in Palestine, in the early morning hours of September 19, 1918. The print depicts the massive gun, its barrel angled upwards, belching out a plume of smoke as it fires a shell towards an unseen enemy. The gun crew, dressed in heavy coats and helmets, are shown in the foreground, their faces obscured by the smoke and the intensity of the scene. The image is a testament to the raw power and destructive capability of the heavy artillery used during the First World War. McBey's masterful use of the drypoint technique adds to the print's emotional impact. The intricate lines and textures capture the roughness and ruggedness of the scene, while the contrast between the dark, smoky background and the bright, glowing embers of the gun's muzzle create a sense of drama and tension. The print is a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. It also serves as a visual record of the Middle Eastern campaign, which saw the Allied forces push back against the Ottoman Empire and pave the way for the creation of modern-day Israel. Created in the 1910s, "A Sixty-Five Pounder Opening Fire" is a significant work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring impact of war on individuals and communities.
