EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a bronze replica of Auguste Rodin's iconic sculpture, The Burghers of Calais, standing proudly in Victoria Tower Gardens in Westminster. The historic setting of the Houses of Parliament and the Palace of Westminster provide a stunning backdrop for this powerful artwork. Dating back to the 19th century, The Burghers of Calais depicts six prominent citizens from the French town who volunteered to sacrifice themselves during the Hundred Years' War. This thought-provoking statue symbolizes heroism, bravery, and selflessness. The photographer skillfully captures the intricate details and textures of Rodin's masterpiece through this gravure-printed image. Every contour and expression on each figure's face is beautifully highlighted in this monochromatic composition. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to London in the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to both English history and European artistry that transcends time. The juxtaposition between past and present is palpable as we appreciate how art can endure throughout centuries. This image invites us to reflect on our own capacity for courage and sacrifice while marveling at Rodin's artistic genius. It reminds us that even amidst turmoil, acts of heroism can inspire generations to come.
