EDITORS COMMENTS
November 11, 1920: The Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey This poignant scene captures the solemnity and reverence of the Unknown Warrior's interment at Westminster Abbey in London. The Unknown Warrior, an unidentified British soldier killed during the First World War, was chosen to represent the thousands of soldiers whose identities were lost in the conflict. The image, created by the renowned Italian-born British artist Fortunino Matania Ri (1881-1963), depicts the soldier's coffin being carried into the abbey, surrounded by soldiers in full regalia. The somber procession is reflected in the polished stone floor, adding to the sense of reverence and awe. Matania was one of the most accomplished realistic illustrators and artists of his time, and his wartime work was immensely popular. His illustrations appeared in nearly every major news magazine, both Allied and Neutral, as well as Central Powers publications. Tens of millions of readers around the world saw the war through Matania's weekly illustrations, making him an important figure in shaping people's mental image of what the battlefield scenes and soldiers of the Great War looked like. The Unknown Warrior's interment at Westminster Abbey was a significant event in the aftermath of the war, and Matania's powerful depiction of the scene has become an enduring symbol of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the First World War.
