EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Queen and the Benin Heroes, the Ships Company of H Ms 'St George' at Osborne, Her Majesty questioning a Wounded Sailor" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Queen Victoria engaging with a wounded sailor from her navy's ship company. With great concern etched on her face, Queen Victoria leans forward attentively as she listens intently to the sailor's account of his experiences. The wounded sailor, adorned in his naval uniform, displays both resilience and vulnerability as he shares his story with the monarch. Surrounded by members of the Royal Navy and armed forces, this scene captures not only the queen's dedication to understanding and supporting her troops but also highlights their bravery and sacrifice. It is evident that this encounter holds immense importance for both parties involved. This engraving originally appeared in The Graphic on February 12th, 1898. It serves as a powerful reminder of the deep connection between royalty and those who serve their country. Through this artwork by William Hatherell (1855-1928), we are invited to witness an intimate moment where empathy bridges gaps between social hierarchies - reminding us all that even queens can be moved by acts of heroism and valor displayed by ordinary individuals serving their nation faithfully.
