EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a side profile view of a plaster sculpture of the renowned Australian Prime Minister, Sir William Morris Hughes (1862-1952), created by the distinguished Australian sculptor, Francis Derwent Wood (1871-1926). The sculpture captures Hughes' intense and determined expression, reflecting his leadership during a pivotal period in Australian history - the First World War, from 1915 to 1923. Hughes, who served as Prime Minister during the war's most challenging years, is depicted wearing a suit and holding a rolled-up document in his right hand, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to guiding his country through the tumultuous times. The sculpture, created circa 1925, stands as a testament to Hughes' indomitable spirit and resilience. This remarkable piece of art was donated to the National Art Gallery of New South Wales, Australia, by Ernest Watt Esquire. The photograph is part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering a glimpse into the rich historical and artistic heritage of Australia. The sculpture's intricate details and lifelike representation make it a valuable addition to the gallery's extensive collection, providing future generations with a visual reminder of Hughes' significant contributions to the nation during its most trying times.
