EDITORS COMMENTS
by Charles Samuel Keene is a captivating print that transports us back to the 19th century. In this intriguing artwork, we witness a scene of military discipline and instruction on a parade ground in England. A distinguished officer stands tall in his military uniform, while another man, perhaps an aspiring soldier or recruit, attentively salutes him. Keene's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this pen and ink drawing with brown ink over traces of black chalk on cream wove card. The artist skillfully captures the essence of the era through his precise strokes and shading techniques. The image serves as a metaphor for the importance of discipline and education within society during that time period. It offers us a glimpse into the heritage art of England, showcasing not only its artistic prowess but also its rich history. As we inspect this print closely, we are drawn into the world depicted by Keene. We can almost hear the commands being shouted across the parade ground and feel the tension in the air as soldiers stand at attention. "A Poser" invites us to reflect upon themes such as duty, honor, and tradition. It reminds us of our collective past while simultaneously urging us to consider how these values continue to shape our present-day lives. This thought-provoking artwork remains timeless in its ability to evoke emotion and spark contemplation about our own roles within society.
