EDITORS COMMENTS
Just Arrived: A Heartwarming Reunion in 1916 - A poignant and humorous moment in history captured by renowned British illustrator, Lawson Wood. In this evocative print from 1915, titled "Just Arrived," a weary soldier, fresh off the train from the battlefields of World War I, is greeted with an unexpected surprise at the station. With a proud and radiant wife by his side, the soldier is taken aback as she presents him with not one, but two new additions to their family. The joy and excitement on their faces are a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the war that had kept them apart. The print beautifully encapsulates the resilience and determination of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of times. The arrival of the newborn babies brings a renewed sense of hope and happiness to the soldier, as he looks forward to starting a new chapter in his life. This heartwarming scene is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of family and love, even in the midst of war. Wood's masterful use of color and detail perfectly conveys the emotions and atmosphere of the moment, making "Just Arrived" a cherished piece of historical art.
