EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Steven Baker showcases the intricate details of a memorial sculpture known as DP172954, located in the serene Northernhay Gardens of Exeter, Devon. The Northernhay War Memorial stands tall and proud, serving as a poignant commemoration of those who sacrificed their lives during the First World War. In this particular detail view captured by Baker's lens, our focus is drawn to a bronze seated figure representing a prisoner. The craftsmanship is awe-inspiring; every curve and contour meticulously sculpted to convey not only physical captivity but also the emotional toll that war inflicts upon individuals. The solemn expression on the prisoner's face speaks volumes about the hardships endured during wartime. As we reflect upon this powerful image, it serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made by countless soldiers who fought bravely for their country. This sculpture symbolizes both remembrance and gratitude towards those who gave everything for freedom. Steven Baker's photograph encapsulates not just an artistic masterpiece but also an important historical artifact. It allows us to appreciate and honor the significance of war memorials like these in preserving our collective memory and ensuring that future generations never forget the cost of peace.
