EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Listed, 1886" by William Henry Gore, we are transported back to the 19th century when enlistment in the army was a prevalent custom. The image showcases a young man adorned with ribbons in his cap, symbolizing his commitment to serve his country. As the evening light casts a warm glow over the scene, we can sense that this moment is filled with both love and sadness. The couple depicted here stands amidst an open field, perhaps bidding farewell as the young man prepares to embark on his military journey. The woman's face reflects a mix of emotions - pride for her lover's bravery but also sorrow at their impending separation. It is evident that they cherish each other deeply and their love serves as an anchor during these uncertain times. Gore's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this poignant scene. The contrasting hues evoke feelings of hope and longing while simultaneously reminding us of the harsh realities of war lurking on the horizon. This print not only captures a specific historical period but also speaks to universal themes such as sacrifice, duty, and devotion. It serves as a powerful reminder of those who have answered their nation's call throughout history and honors their courage.
