EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Father, ware right! Father, ware left!" depicts a poignant moment in French history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of bravery and familial bonds amidst conflict. The scene takes us back to the Battle of Poitiers, where a young boy stands between his father and an impending battle. The child's eyes reflect both fear and determination as he clings onto his father's hands tightly. The father, adorned in armor, gazes into the distance with unwavering resolve. This artwork is inspired by a passage from M Guizot's "A Popular History of France" published around 1885. It symbolizes not only the historical significance of this particular event but also highlights themes of loyalty and sacrifice within French culture. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability of childhood juxtaposed against the harsh realities of war. Through intricate details and masterful technique, we are transported to a time when children were exposed to such tumultuous circumstances at an early age. "Father, ware right! Father, ware left!" serves as a reminder that even in times of great adversity, love and protection can provide solace amidst chaos. This engraving encapsulates both historical significance and emotional depth while inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring power of family bonds throughout history.
