EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "The Diggers, 1918" takes us back in time to the harrowing landscapes and experiences of World War I. Created by Percy John Delf Smith, this etching measures 15.9x21.6 cm and is now part of a private collection at Abbott and Holder in London. In this poignant depiction, we witness soldiers diligently working with shovels and pickaxes amidst the desolate trenches. The artist's attention to detail brings forth a sense of realism as each stroke captures their weary expressions and determined stance. These brave diggers are armed not only with rifles but also with tools that symbolize their unwavering commitment to building defenses against an unseen enemy. As they walk through the treacherous terrain, these soldiers embody resilience and camaraderie in the face of adversity. The landscape itself tells a story of destruction while simultaneously highlighting nature's ability to reclaim what was once its own. Smith's masterful drawing skillfully portrays both the physical toll war takes on individuals and the strength found within them during such trying times. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of those who fought valiantly during World War I, honoring their sacrifice for future generations. "The Diggers, 1918" invites us to reflect on history while acknowledging the immense courage displayed by these soldiers who dug deep into unknown territories - both literally and metaphorically
