EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Safety First, from The Labour of Women, 1924" by Eric Gill captures a powerful moment in history. Depicting a wood engraving, the image showcases the heroic efforts of women in ensuring safety at sea. In this scene, amidst a vast seascape, we see courageous female figures rescuing those in distress. They skillfully navigate through treacherous waters on their boats and rafts while holding up banners that read "Safety First". These brave women embody strength and determination as they work tirelessly to save lives. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the wood engraving technique used. The waves crashing against the vessels create a sense of urgency and danger, highlighting the perilous nature of their mission. Yet these resilient women remain undeterred as they strive for justice and protection on behalf of all who sail. The composition not only celebrates the bravery of these unsung heroines but also serves as a reminder that gender should never limit one's ability to contribute to society. It is an homage to all women who have fought against adversity throughout history. "Safety First" serves as an inspiring testament to human compassion and resilience in times of crisis. This thought-provoking artwork prompts us to reflect on our own roles in promoting safety and equality for all, regardless of gender or circumstance.
