EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that captures the essence of justice and its significance during the tumultuous times of World War I. Created by Edmund Joseph Sullivan, this artwork measures 69.2x44.377.2x51.8 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. As part of "The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals" series, this twelfth installment showcases an allegorical representation of justice personified as a female figure holding a sword and scales. The artist skillfully portrays her as a symbol of righteousness, embodying the ideals that Britain fought for during this historic conflict. Intricate details such as military elements and patriotic symbolism add depth to this powerful image. The presence of Judge Justitia signifies fair judgment amidst chaos, reminding viewers that even in times of war, justice must prevail. Through his masterful use of engraving techniques, Sullivan effectively conveys the gravity and importance placed on upholding legal principles during wartime. This print serves as both a historical record and an artistic expression reflecting the values cherished by British society at that time. "The Reign of Justice, 1917" stands as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture significant moments in history while inspiring contemplation about timeless themes such as justice and sacrifice.
