EDITORS COMMENTS
That Evening Star-Shell," is a poignant work by British artist Bruce Bairnsfather, created in 1917 during his service in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment until December 1916. Originally an amateur artist, Bairnsfather's unique perspective and cockney humor gained him widespread popularity during this period. His work was regularly featured in prestigious publications such as the Tatler and the Bystander. Depicting a solitary soldier gazing up at the evening sky, the print captures the tender beam of the evening star, providing a momentary respite for his troubled dream. The image is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and comforts that soldiers longed for amidst the chaos and hardships of the Front. Bairnsfather's work, with its historical significance and insight into the experiences of soldiers during World War I, remains an important part of military art history. This print, in particular, is a poignant and beautiful tribute to the power of nature to provide solace and hope in even the most challenging circumstances."
