EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed Gerald Graham (1831-1899), an English army officer who served in the Royal Engineers. The image, captured by Edward Linley Sambourne in 1884, portrays Graham as a symbol of courage and leadership. At the age of 23, Graham's bravery during the Crimean Russo-Turkish War earned him the prestigious Victoria Cross. His act of valor took place on June 18,1855, at Sebastopol. Throughout his illustrious career, he continued to excel and eventually retired as a Lieutenant-General. In this portrait, Graham stands tall with a stoic expression on his face. Holding a weapon firmly in his hand and looking away into the distance, he exudes determination and strength. The smoke surrounding him hints at past battles fought with unwavering resolve. The artist has beautifully depicted every detail - from Graham's well-groomed mustache to his military uniform adorned with medals. A horse stands beside him, representing both companionship and loyalty that soldiers often find amidst chaos. This historic engraving not only pays homage to Gerald Graham but also captures an era filled with heroism and sacrifice. It serves as a reminder of those who have dedicated their lives to protect others while showcasing Sambourne's artistic talent in immortalizing such figures through illustration.
