EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning "Portrait of W. Lavington, R. N" painted by George Edmund Butler in approximately 1920. The portrait, rendered with oil on panel, is part of a series of five wood panels that depict veteran soldiers and sailors. In this particular piece, we see an elderly sailor named W. Lavington dressed in his distinguished naval uniform. His weathered face tells a story of a life well-lived and countless experiences at sea. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of Lavington's character and the wisdom acquired over years of service. The painting now resides in Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK as part of their esteemed collection. It was generously bequeathed by Alderman James Fuller Eberle in 1939. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an era when honor and duty were paramount virtues for those who served their country. Through Butler's masterful technique, he immortalizes not only W. Lavington but also pays homage to all veterans who have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedoms. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and bravery while preserving the memory of those who have selflessly served their nation throughout history.
