EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting lithograph by Robert Ambrose Dudley captures a chilling moment in history - the practice of counting the hands cut from the dead after a battle. In this scene, military secretaries meticulously tally up the fallen soldiers in front of their king, using severed body parts as a grim method of keeping track.
The image is both striking and disturbing, serving as a reminder of the brutal realities of warfare throughout history. The stark black and white contrast adds to the somber tone, emphasizing the gravity of death and loss on the battlefield.
Dudley's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the expressions on the faces of those involved in counting to the intricate depiction of each hand being tallied. It is a powerful visual representation of an ancient custom that shocks modern sensibilities.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a macabre ritual that was once considered routine in times of war. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict and forces us to confront our own mortality.
