EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Waits in Tribulation, a Song for Ransom" transports us back to the year 1902, as depicted in The Illustrated London News. Created by the talented artist Amedee Forestier and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into an era filled with military festivities and poetic traditions. The artwork showcases soldiers adorned in traditional plate armor, mesh size carefully crafted to protect them on the battlefield. These brave combat troops are seen engaging in song and poetry while donning their armoured clothing. Among them are female soldiers who stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their male counterparts, highlighting their significant role within the armed forces. The scene depicts a platoon of soldiers gathered together during times of tribulation, finding solace and strength through music and camaraderie. Their unity is palpable as they await ransom or victory on the battlefield. Forestier's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. The intricate designs on each soldier's armor reflect both functionality and beauty, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into creating such protective attire. As we admire this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences throughout history – moments of struggle intertwined with celebrations amidst conflict.
