EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by the talented William Smithson Broadhead, created during his time serving in the esteemed King Edwards Horse regiment. Born in 1888 and passing away in 1960, Broadhead was not only a skilled artist and illustrator but also gained recognition as a renowned horse painter. After completing his studies at the Sheffield School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London, Broadhead embarked on a journey to Canada as a young artist in January 1910. His artistic prowess led him to New York where he became a staff illustrator for Judge magazine. However, it was during World War I that Broadhead's artistry truly flourished. Enlisting with the cavalry regiment King Edwards Horse, which formed part of the Kings Overseas Dominions Regiment mobilized in London in 1914, Broadhead served valiantly until being wounded while stationed in France. Following his injury, he returned home to recover before ultimately resigning from his regiment in 1920. The original artwork can be found at Sheffield Archives LD1980/41 and serves as a testament to both Broadhead's talent and his dedication to capturing moments from this tumultuous period of history. This particular piece beautifully depicts horses alongside soldiers, symbolizing their unwavering bond amidst the chaos of war.
