EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover image from the February 10, 1917 issue of The Sphere magazine transports us back to the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I. The scene is set by Fortunino Matania's powerful and poignant depiction of British gunners taking cover from an intense bombardment. The gun team, led by their determined commander, are making a desperate dash for the safety of a nearby dugout as a shell bursts ominously close to their 18-pounder gun. The explosive force of the shell is captured in the billowing clouds of smoke and dirt, while the expressions on the faces of the gunners convey a mixture of fear, determination, and exhaustion. Matania, The Sphere's special artist, sketched this scene from his observations in the field, providing a firsthand account of the horrors and challenges faced by the soldiers on the front lines. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey the raw emotion of the moment make this image a compelling and poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The title of this series, "With our artist on the Western Front," underscores the importance of visual storytelling in bringing the war to the public and keeping them informed of the daily struggles and triumphs of the British military. This powerful image serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers, as well as the vital role of the arts in recording history.
