EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of victory and triumph in the aftermath of World War I. The front cover of the September 1919 issue of US shipyard magazine, Morse Dry Dock Dial, showcases a remarkable artwork by renowned American artist Edward Hopper. In this illustration, we witness returning soldiers disembarking from ships that played a pivotal role in transporting US troops and aiding the Allies' success during the war. The scene unfolds in a bustling harbor, presumably located in New York City, as these brave men step onto solid ground after their arduous journey. Their faces reflect both exhaustion and relief as they reunite with loved ones onshore. This image symbolizes not only their individual homecomings but also represents a broader narrative of peace restored to America. Hopper's masterful brushstrokes bring to life this historical moment with meticulous attention to detail. The industrial backdrop of cranes and ships serves as a reminder of the significant naval contributions made by Morse Dry Dock Dial and Repair Company during this critical period. As we gaze upon this poignant snapshot from history, it is impossible not to feel gratitude for those who fought valiantly for freedom and justice. Through Hopper's artistry and Science Photo Library's preservation efforts at Hagley Archive, we are transported back to an era where unity prevailed amidst turmoil—a testament to human resilience and unwavering determination for peace.
