EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "The Turks fire rifles behind Walter Greenway to see if he is really deaf, but not a sound does he seem to hear" artist Edward Frederick Skinner transports us to a moment of intense heroism and deception. The scene unfolds in Central Turkey, where the Turkish culture intertwines with European influences. At its core, this artwork tells the story of Walter Greenway, a remarkable individual whose courage knows no bounds. As the title suggests, the Turks test his supposed deafness by firing rifles behind him. Yet despite their efforts to expose him, Greenway remains unfazed and seemingly impervious to any sound that may betray his true abilities. Skinner's meticulous attention to detail brings this narrative alive on paper. From the intricate engravings depicting Turkish landscapes and architecture to the expressive faces of both Greenway and his skeptical adversaries, every element contributes to an atmosphere charged with tension. "The Turks fire rifles. . " serves as an illustration for Arthur Mee's Hero Book—a testament to extraordinary individuals who defy expectations and rise above adversity. Through this print, we witness one such hero in action—Greenway—who cleverly disguises himself as someone unable to hear while fearlessly navigating dangerous situations. This artwork invites contemplation on themes of bravery and pretense; it challenges our perceptions of what it means to be heroic. It reminds us that heroes can come from unexpected places and possess unique qualities that set them apart from others. As we gaze upon this lithograph by Skinner, we are reminded that sometimes silence speaks louder than words—and that true heroism lies not only in physical prowess but also in cunning strategy and unwavering determination.
