EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Belgium (colour litho)" by Walter Wallor Caffyn takes us back to the early twentieth century, specifically the 1910s. The image is an allegory of Belgium, showcasing its significance and resilience during a time of great turmoil. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph draw attention to the sorrowful atmosphere depicted within. A melancholic feeling permeates the scene, evoking a sense of mourning and grief. The central figure, an allegorical representation of Belgium herself, stands tall amidst a backdrop of European countries on a map. Clutching her shield and defensive weapons, she symbolizes strength and courage in the face of adversity. The flag draped over her shoulder further emphasizes her national identity as she mourns for her beloved country. Surrounded by feminine figures representing women from all walks of life, this artwork pays tribute to their unwavering spirit during times of war and loss. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in moments of horror and despair, unity can be found among nations. This powerful piece was originally featured in "The Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Gift Book" published by Jarrold & Sons in London in 1918. Its inclusion here showcases not only Caffyn's artistic talent but also highlights the historical significance attached to it. Displayed proudly within private collections today, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon Belgium's past struggles while celebrating its enduring spirit as part of Europe's rich heritage.
