Clare Commemorative Figures Figurines Frewen Pottery Sculptor Sculptures Sheridan Wilfred


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a set of figurines of women war workers, sculpted by the renowned artist Clare Consuelo Frewen Sheridan, also known as Mrs. Wilfred Sheridan. These intricately crafted figures were destined for the Women's Work Section of the newly established Imperial War Museum in 1918. The First World War had brought about a significant shift in gender roles, with women taking on crucial roles in factories, offices, and other industries to support the war effort. Clare Sheridan, an accomplished sculptor, captured the spirit and determination of these women in her masterful creations. The figurines depict women in various positions, each one embodying the resilience and dedication required to keep the home front running during the war. The delicate details of their clothing, tools, and expressions convey a sense of pride and purpose. These figurines were made using pottery or china, materials that were readily available and affordable during the war. Their production served as a commemoration of the vital contributions made by women during this pivotal period in history. The Women's Work Section of the Imperial War Museum aimed to document and celebrate the roles women played in the war effort, and these figurines were an essential addition to that collection. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of these figurines. They serve as a reminder of the indomitable spirit of the women who stepped up to the challenge during the First World War and made a difference on the home front.
