EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound "War Sonnets" collection by C. Dudley Tennant, a renowned poet from 1867 to 1952. Published around 1920 in the book "Poems of Passion and Pleasure" this particular edition was beautifully illustrated by an anonymous artist. The image depicts a thought-provoking scene where seeds of destruction are being sown amidst chaos and devastation. The blindfolded figure symbolizes the ignorance that often accompanies war, as it blinds us to its true consequences. With artillery scattered across the landscape, this engraving evokes a sense of waste and despair. Intriguingly, this photograph also captures another narrative - that of refuse collection. Dust bins filled with rubbish stand nearby, reminding us of our responsibility to clean up after ourselves both physically and metaphorically. A special refuse collector is seen handling these discarded materials with care. Dudley Tennant's powerful poems explore themes of passion and pleasure within the context of war's harsh realities. This artwork serves as a visual representation of his poignant words, inviting viewers to reflect on the destructive nature of conflict while contemplating their own role in preventing such tragedies. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece through their fine art finder platform, allowing audiences today to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance without commercial intentions or associations.
