EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant lithograph by Lance Calkin that captures the somber aftermath of war. This print, dating back to 1899, depicts a scene at the War Office where wounded soldiers and anxious relatives gather in search of news about their loved ones. The image portrays the harsh reality faced by those affected by conflict. The injured soldiers can be seen with visible wounds, highlighting the physical toll war takes on individuals. Meanwhile, families anxiously scan lists searching for familiar names, hoping to discover that their loved ones have survived unscathed. Calkin's engraving emphasizes not only the physical injuries but also highlights the emotional turmoil experienced during wartime. The expressions on people's faces reveal anguish and uncertainty as they await news that could bring both relief or heartbreak. This artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made in times of war and sheds light on what lies beyond victory. It prompts us to reflect upon those who suffer silently due to conflicts fought far away from home. "The Dark Side of Victory" invites viewers to contemplate themes such as fate, loss, resilience, and compassion. It stands as an enduring testament to humanity's ability to endure even in times when hope seems elusive.
