EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch by J. H. Dowd, titled "The Tale of the Stubborn Mount," captures the determination and perseverance of an army officer during the First World War as he attempts to break in a spirited horse. The year was 1915, and the Great War was in full swing. The artist, a member of the Artists Rifles, skillfully depicted the scene with intricate detail, capturing the raw emotion and tension between the soldier and the horse. The horse, strong and proud, stands firm against the will of its rider, its ears pinned back and eyes filled with defiance. The officer, dressed in his military uniform, leans forward in the saddle, his face set with determination. He holds the reins tightly, his knuckles white with the effort of trying to gain control. The scene is set against a backdrop of muddy fields and barbed wire, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. Despite the challenges, the officer remains steadfast in his efforts to break the horse, a testament to the resilience and grit required during wartime. The sketch is a poignant reminder of the bond between soldier and horse, a bond that was essential during the First World War. The horse was not just a mode of transportation, but a companion, a partner in the battlefield. This historical sketch, created in 1915, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the trenches of the First World War. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their horses during wartime, and the determination and perseverance required to overcome even the most stubborn of mounts.
