EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "She stood and swung the lantern slowly from side to side, 1914" we are transported back in time to an era of darkness and uncertainty. Created by the talented artist William Barnes Wollen, this image is taken from "Princess Mary's Gift Book" a collection of children's stories published in 1914. The photograph depicts a woman standing on a doorstep, holding a lantern that casts its warm glow into the night. Her silhouette stands tall against the backdrop of houses, symbolizing strength and resilience during challenging times. The dark color palette adds depth and mystery to the scene, evoking a sense of anticipation for what lies ahead. This powerful artwork not only showcases Wollen's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of Princess Mary's involvement in charitable works during World War One. The book was published on behalf of Princess Mary, with profits going towards The Queen's Work for Women Fund – an initiative aimed at employing women during wartime. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on the significance it holds within history. It reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there is always light to guide our way forward. Through art and literature like this print by William Barnes Wollen, we can honor those who have dedicated themselves to helping others and find inspiration amidst adversity.
