EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken towards the end of the First World War in 1918, depicts a determined woman selling newspapers on a bustling city street. The headlines boldly emblazoned across the front pages announce the long-awaited news of peace terms being reached. The image, an original copper plate print by Robert Austin, captures the excitement and relief felt by the population as they eagerly purchased the latest editions to read the details of the historic agreement. The scene is set against the backdrop of the 1910s, a decade marked by the devastating impact of the Great War. The woman's expression conveys a sense of pride and satisfaction as she shares this momentous news with the public. The reversed image, with its cancelled copper plate, adds an intriguing layer of history to the print, further emphasizing its unique and authentic nature. Robert Austin's Woman selling newspapers announcing Peace Terms is a poignant reminder of the power of the press during times of war and the importance of staying informed. This powerful image, preserved and now available through Liss Fine Art / Mary Evans Picture Library, invites us to reflect on the significance of peace and the enduring spirit of resilience in the face of adversity.
