EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Deserter Taking Leave of his Wife, 1791 (1909)", transports us back to the 18th century in Britain. Created by artist George Keating after George Morland's original work, this piece captures a poignant moment between a soldier and his wife. Set against the backdrop of an old doorstep, we witness the emotional farewell as the husband prepares to depart for war. The man is dressed in military attire, while his wife stands before him with a mixture of love and concern etched on her face. Their tender embrace speaks volumes about their deep bond and the hardships they are about to endure. The composition exudes realism and depth, showcasing Keating's skillful engraving technique. Every line tells a story - from the intricate details on their clothing to the worn-out expression on their faces. It is evident that this artwork was created with great care and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout history. The concept of desertion looms over them both like an impending threat, adding an air of tension to this intimate scene. "Deserter Taking Leave of his Wife" serves as a powerful reminder not only of love amidst adversity but also highlights themes such as duty, loyalty, and patriotism prevalent during times of war. This historical gem allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences across centuries while appreciating the artistic talent that brings these stories alive through visual representation.
