EDITORS COMMENTS
This print is a rare and poignant glimpse into the history of the British military during World War I, showcasing The British Firing Line from the acclaimed portfolio of 12 engravings in colour. Created between 1914 and 1917, these intricately detailed drawings were made on the Western Front and brought to life through the masterful printing techniques of George Pullman & Sons Ltd. for Ernest Brown & Phillips at The Leicester Galleries in London. As the sixth-hundred-and-seventh copy of an edition of 500, this print carries a rich historical significance. It is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the British military, particularly the Machine Gun Corps, as depicted in this image by Captain Edward Handley-Read, RBA. Handley-Read, born in 1869 and passing in 1935, was an accomplished artist and military officer who captured the essence of the frontline experience. The British Firing Line is not only a topographical print but also a historical document, providing a vivid and unforgettable portrayal of the soldiers and their daily life on the battlefield. This print serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First Great War and stands as an essential piece for any collection focusing on military history or World War I memorabilia.
