EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'Bus Conductor,' is an exquisite piece from a set of twelve, entitled 'Playing the Game, War Work 1914-1918,' published by Underground General in December 1918. The collection, created by renowned British artist Archibald Standish Hartrick (1864-1950), offers a poignant glimpse into the remarkable transformation of the workforce during World War I. As men were called to the Western Front to fight, women courageously stepped up to take on roles previously held by men. This image of a bus conductor is a testament to the indomitable spirit and adaptability of women during this pivotal period in history. The suffragette movement, which had been advocating for women's rights and suffrage, gained new momentum as women demonstrated their capabilities in various industries. Hartrick's masterful use of lithography beautifully captures the determination and resilience of this bus conductor, her stern expression and confident posture embodying the spirit of the times. The intricate details in her uniform and the dynamic composition of the image further emphasize the importance of women's contributions to the war effort. This evocative piece of art serves as a powerful reminder of the significant role women played during World War I, paving the way for greater gender equality and social change. The 'Playing the Game' portfolio, with its thought-provoking images, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in history.
