This print showcases the poignant "Memorial to the members of New College, Oxford, who lost their lives during World War I". Created in 1921 by Eric Gill and his workshop, this stone monument stands as a solemn tribute to honor those brave individuals who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The intricate craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this memorial. Designed by Eric Gill himself, the lettering was skillfully cut by Joseph & Lawrence Cribb and painted by David Jones – all members of Gill's esteemed workshop. The names of each fallen member are incised into the stone with precision and care, ensuring that their memory will be forever engraved in history. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork, we cannot help but feel a deep sense of reverence and gratitude for these courageous graduates. Their lives were tragically cut short during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.

Through its elegant design and use of gold leaf accents, this plaque exudes a timeless beauty that adds further weight to its message. It stands as a symbol not just for New College but for all those affected by war – reminding us to never forget the tremendous cost paid for our freedom.
