EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative effigy of T.E. Lawrence, also known as Lawrence of Arabia, is situated in St. Martin's Church in the picturesque town of Wareham, Dorset, England. The sculpture, created by renowned British artist Eric Kennington, captures the enigmatic figure in full Arab dress, with his head resting on a camel saddle. The date of the effigy spans the years 1888 to 1935, reflecting Lawrence's extensive involvement in Arabian affairs during and after the First World War. Lawrence, a British officer, scholar, and writer, is best known for his role in leading an Arab revolt against the Ottoman Empire during the war. His daring exploits and charismatic leadership earned him legendary status, and his experiences in the Arabian desert deeply influenced his identity. The Arab dress he wears in the effigy is a testament to his immersion in Arab culture and his commitment to their cause. Eric Kennington, a prolific sculptor and painter, was commissioned to create the effigy in 1935, just a few years after Lawrence's untimely death in a motorcycle accident. The sculpture serves as a poignant memorial to Lawrence's extraordinary life and his enduring connection to the Arab world. The tranquil setting of St. Martin's Church provides a fitting backdrop for this evocative tribute to a man who defied the conventions of his time and left an indelible mark on history.
