EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the South African War Memorial in Plymouth, Devon, taken around 1910. The memorial's obelisk, crafted by Emil Fuchs and unveiled in 1903, stands tall as a tribute to Christian Victor Prince of Schleswig-Holstein and the brave soldiers from the Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Devonshire Regiments who fought valiantly in the Boer War. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an architectural masterpiece against a monochrome landscape. Its grandeur symbolizes the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period of history. The unknown photographer skillfully captures every detail of this remarkable monument. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a poignant reminder of the past century's conflicts and their lasting impact on our world. It is through such memorials that we honor those who gave their lives for their country. The glass plate negative used to create this print adds an ethereal quality to the image while preserving its historical significance. This particular print comes from The Print Collector collection curated by Frederick W Marks (also known as Fred Marks) under his pseudonym "Onslow Whiting". Let us remember not only those whose names are etched into stone but also all those affected by war – may their sacrifice never be forgotten.
