EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Lawrence of Arabia effigy, located in St Martins Church in Wareham, Dorset. The effigy pays tribute to the renowned soldier and author TE Lawrence, who tragically lost his life in a motorcycle accident nearby in 1935. Sculpted by the talented artist Eric Kennington, this monument stands as a powerful symbol of remembrance. The image captures the impressive architecture of St Martins Church, with its rich history dating back to centuries past. Within its walls lies the striking figure of TE Lawrence himself, depicted lying down with his head resting on an intricately designed headdress known as a keffiyeh. His face exudes both strength and serenity, embodying his significant contributions to British literature and military endeavors. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to the 1930s – a time when Lawrence's writings were shaping minds and hearts across Britain. This portrait serves as a reminder not only of his remarkable achievements but also of the sacrifices made by soldiers like him during times of war. Peter Thompson skillfully captured this momentous scene through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Let us cherish this image for what it represents: an enduring memorial honoring one man's extraordinary life and legacy within our country's narrative.
