EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Christmas illustration is taken from the 9th issue of Sketch magazine, published in December 1914. The cover art, created by renowned British artist Archibald Wells, depicts a young British officer in full khaki uniform, standing proudly between two fashionably dressed young women. The women, adorned in the latest trends of the early 20th century, add a sense of elegance and sophistication to the scene. One of the women, with a radiant smile, holds a Union Jack cloak that billows out behind her, symbolizing patriotism and national pride. The officer, with a stern yet gentle expression, seems to be in deep conversation with the women, creating an intimate and engaging atmosphere. The illustration, titled "Sketch Christmas," was published just a few months after the outbreak of World War I. The use of the Union Jack and the patriotic theme suggests that the magazine was making a statement of support for the British war effort. Archibald Wells, a prolific and versatile artist, was known for his ability to capture the essence of the times in his work. This cover illustration is no exception, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and spirit of the early 1910s. This historical print, with its rich detail and evocative imagery, is an important addition to any collection of British art or social history. It offers a unique perspective on the Christmas season during a time of great change and upheaval, and serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the spirit of an era.
