Midshipman Lucas - A Heroic Tale of Courage and Bravery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolithograph print, titled "Midshipman Lucas" transports us back to the early 20th century, where we find ourselves immersed in a remarkable story of heroism and valor. The image depicts a young boy named Charles Davis Lucas, who became an emblematic figure during the Crimean War. As part of a cigarette card series on Famous Boys published by Godfrey Phillips, this artwork captures the imagination with its vibrant colors and attention to detail. Midshipman Lucas stands proudly amidst the chaos of war, his youthful face displaying determination beyond his years. The scene depicted is none other than the shelling of Bomarsund – a pivotal moment in history that saw Midshipman Lucas's unwavering bravery earn him the prestigious Victoria Cross at just 16 years old. This courageous act made him the youngest recipient ever to receive this esteemed military honor. Through this print, we are reminded not only of Midshipman Lucas's extraordinary courage but also of the countless children who have faced adversity throughout history. Their resilience and strength serve as an inspiration for generations to come. Displayed in private collections worldwide, this chromolithograph serves as both a testament to historical events and an artistic masterpiece capturing one young boy's indomitable spirit. Let it remind us all that heroes can emerge from unexpected places – even among children – leaving an everlasting impact on our collective memory.
