EDITORS COMMENTS
His Other Eyes: A poignant moment of solace and companionship during the tumultuous times of the First World War. In this evocative drawing by renowned Italian artist Fortunino Matania, a blind soldier sits in quiet contemplation as a compassionate female companion reads aloud from a newspaper or magazine. The soldier, his face etched with the weight of war and loss, closes his eyes, surrendering to the soothing sound of her voice and the comforting touch of her hand. This poignant scene was captured in May 1917, during a sale held at the prestigious Albert Hall in London, to raise funds for St. Dunstan's, a hostel in Regent's Park dedicated to caring for blinded servicemen. The drawing, a testament to the resilience and camaraderie of those affected by the war, was generously donated by Fortunino Matania to support the noble cause. The image, titled 'His Other Eyes,' offers a glimpse into the human spirit's ability to find solace and connection amidst the chaos and hardships of war.
