EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the remarkable story of Surgeon William Maillard, RN, who earned the prestigious Victoria Cross during a momentous event in Candia. Created by Frank Dadd and reproduced for The Graphic in 1898, this historical illustration transports us back to a time filled with bravery and unrest. The scene depicted is set against the backdrop of HMS Hazard and the Customs House in Candia, Crete. It captures the intense atmosphere of the Cretan Assembly's agitation as they clashed with Greek forces. In this chaotic setting, Surgeon William Maillard emerges as a symbol of courage and heroism. With blurred motion suggesting action and movement, we witness Maillard's valiant efforts on behalf of the Royal Navy. This engraving immortalizes his pivotal role in combatting this European conflict while highlighting his exceptional bravery that led to him being awarded the Victoria Cross. As we delve into this historic narrative, it becomes evident that Maillard's actions were not only significant for his naval unit but also for Greece as a whole. His unwavering determination serves as an inspiration to all those who view this image. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are granted access to this powerful visual representation of an extraordinary individual whose name deserves recognition alongside other distinguished recipients of the Victoria Cross.
