EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Willow Art (Longton) china statue of Edith Cavell is a poignant tribute to the brave and selfless actions of a remarkable woman during the tumultuous times of World War I. The statue, depicting Edith Cavell in her nursing uniform, is inscribed with the date "Brussels Dawn October 12th 1915." Edith Cavell was a British nurse who worked in German-occupied Brussels during the war. She was arrested and charged with helping Allied soldiers escape to neutral Holland, and was subsequently sentenced to death. The statue's inscription commemorates the early morning of her execution. The statue is adorned with the Coat of Arms of Birmingham, a city with a rich history in the production of ceramics. The use of commemorative ware during this period was a common way to pay tribute to significant events and individuals. This Willow Art (Longton) china statue is a testament to the enduring impact of Edith Cavell's story, and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the First Great Military Conflict of the 20th century. The intricate details of the statue, from the folds of Edith Cavell's uniform to the intricacies of the Birmingham coat of arms, showcase the exceptional craftsmanship of Willow Art (Longton) and the enduring beauty of ceramics as a medium for historical storytelling.
