EDITORS COMMENTS
When night sets in and the sun is down, a poignant scene unfolds on this British WWI postcard. The captivating print, created by Richard Caton Woodville II and published on behalf of the National Institute for the Blind, captures the essence of sacrifice and assistance during times of war. In this vividly colored lithograph, we witness a soldier in uniform amidst the dusk of battle. His face bears signs of both courage and injury, symbolizing the countless casualties endured during the Great War. As evening descends upon the battlefield, his comrades rally around him to offer aid and support. The National Institute for the Blind's involvement in publishing this postcard highlights their commitment to providing assistance to those affected by blindness or visual impairment even amidst wartime challenges. This image serves as a reminder that no matter how dire circumstances may be, compassion remains an essential part of humanity. Woodville's artistry beautifully captures not only physical wounds but also metaphorical ones – wounds inflicted upon nations torn apart by conflict. Through this powerful depiction, he invites us to reflect on our own senses and appreciate their significance in preserving life. As we delve into history through these evocative postcards from World War I, let us remember those who fought bravely while acknowledging that healing extends beyond physical injuries alone.
