EDITORS COMMENTS
. This pastel print, titled "War Searchlights over Westminster Bridge, 1917" takes us back in time to the tumultuous era of World War I. Created by Robert Randoll in 1917, this artwork measures 24.1x16.5 cm and is now part of a private collection. The scene depicted showcases the iconic landmarks of London at night during wartime. The majestic clocktower, known as Big Ben, stands tall amidst a sky filled with searchlight beams that pierce through the darkness. The Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster are bathed in an eerie glow as they bear witness to the ravages of war. Intriguingly, this piece also captures elements of daily life during wartime. A bustling bus traverses Westminster Bridge while barges and boats navigate along the River Thames under the watchful eye of a tugboat. These glimpses into transportation and trade remind us that life continued even amid conflict. With its meticulous detail and delicate use of pastels, Randoll's artwork transports us to a pivotal moment in history when London faced immense challenges but remained resilient. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of the impact war has on society but also how art can capture both beauty and hardship simultaneously. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded to reflect on our shared history and appreciate both the strength
