EDITORS COMMENTS
This unfinished cartoon sketch titled "Thrown," depicts a moment of raw emotion and chaos from the battlefields of World War I. British Expeditionary Force soldier and artist, Edgar Rowley Smart (1887-1934), captured the scene with his skillful yet rough brushstrokes. The image shows a horse and rider in mid-fall, with the rider's helmet flying through the air and his arms outstretched in a desperate attempt to break his fall. The horse, its muscles tensed and eyes wide with fear, is frozen in the moment before it hits the ground. Smart, who served in France from 1914 to 1919, was known for his equestrian military drawings that captured the realities of war. His art was not only a testament to his artistic talent but also to the harsh realities of the battlefield. This unfinished sketch is a poignant reminder of the danger and unpredictability of war, as well as the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in it. The rough edges and incomplete lines of the sketch add to its raw, emotional power, making it a unique and powerful piece of historical art. Smart's art was not only a reflection of his own experiences but also a valuable historical record of the First World War. His sketches provide a glimpse into the daily life and struggles of soldiers during this time, offering a firsthand account of the war that is both personal and universal. This unfinished cartoon sketch of a horse and rider, with its raw emotion and sense of chaos, is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the bravery and resilience of those who fought in it.
