Peace and War - A Captivating Glimpse into Victorian Values
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This chromolitho print, titled "Peace and War" offers a fascinating glimpse into the values of 19th-century England. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this artwork was originally published as an illustration for Pen and Pencil magazine. The scene depicted in the print showcases a juxtaposition between peace and war. In the foreground, we see a young girl dressed in black, symbolizing mourning or loss amidst conflict. She stands beside a soldier adorned in traditional plate armor, representing the nobility and tradition associated with military service. In the background looms Windsor Castle, serving as a powerful reminder of authority and power. The presence of flowers scattered throughout suggests hope even amidst turmoil. This image not only captures the idea of peace versus war but also highlights various aspects of Victorian society. It portrays horses ranging from racehorses to shire horses, emphasizing their significance both on farms and in combat units. Furthermore, it subtly hints at gender roles within armed forces by featuring female soldiers alongside their male counterparts—a rare sight during that era. Overall, this thought-provoking print invites viewers to reflect upon notions such as honor, duty, sacrifice, and the delicate balance between peacekeeping efforts and conflicts that have shaped our history.
