EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the iconic White Cliffs of Dover in all their majestic glory, a symbol of hope and resilience during World War II. The image is taken from an illustrated music sheet cover for the song "There'll Be Blue Birds Over The White Cliffs Of Dover," with lyrics by Nat Burton and music by Walter Kent. This poignant ballad was famously performed and broadcasted by Turner Layton, as seen in the portrait photograph featured on the cover.
The cliffs stand tall and proud against the backdrop of a cloudy sky, evoking a sense of strength and determination in the face of adversity. The date of this image is circa 1941, at the height of WWII when these cliffs served as a beacon for Allied forces returning home from battle.
As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we are reminded of the sacrifices made during wartime and the enduring spirit that carried nations through dark times. The White Cliffs of Dover remain a powerful symbol of unity and perseverance, standing as a testament to human courage in times of crisis.
