EDITORS COMMENTS
With Quill and Compassion: Richard King's Charitable Writings in The Tatler During WWI In the autumn of 1917, as the First World War raged on, the pages of The Tatler magazine resonated with the poignant words of its esteemed columnist, Richard King. King, a prolific writer and journalist, penned the weekly column "With Silent Friends," which touched the hearts of readers with its profound insights and empathetic tone. This evocative photograph captures King in the prime of his literary career, as his writings were being compiled into a book titled "The Book of Silent Friends." The publication of this collection marked a significant milestone, as the first 5,000 copies sold would be donated to Sir Arthur Pearson's fund for the children of blind soldiers and sailors of St. Dunstan's. The image, published in The Tatler at the time, reveals a thoughtful and introspective man, deep in contemplation, perhaps pondering the impact of his words on the war-torn world. The backdrop of the photograph, adorned with books and papers, underscores King's dedication to his craft and his commitment to using his writing as a means of raising awareness and funds for a worthy cause. As the world grappled with the horrors of war, King's "With Silent Friends" column provided a much-needed respite, offering readers a glimpse into the human spirit and the power of compassion. Through his writings, King not only entertained and informed but also inspired a sense of unity and hope during a time of darkness and uncertainty. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that words and charitable efforts can have on the world, even in the midst of war and adversity.
