War the Charge — Antique Historical Print
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Charge is another plate from George Bellows' 1918 War Series, the American painter's twelve-print response to the First World War's reported atrocities. Rather than depict heroic combat, Bellows used the cavalry charge as a study in chaos and momentum, rendered with the same muscular, sweeping line he brought to his boxing pictures. Reproduced in Collier's magazine the year it was made, the image carried the war's violence to an American public still largely removed from the fighting.

It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. The clarity of War the Charge makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday.
This turned out better than the photos led me to expect. Everything I like about War the Charge is here and legible. Our summers are so humid that I was nervous about ordering anything at all, and it has held up perfectly. It has already paid for itself in compliments.
This is exactly what I was looking for, and I looked for a long time. Everything that makes War the Charge special survived the reproduction.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. Every line in War the Charge is crisp, even in the busiest areas. I already have my eye on a second one.
I ordered it on a Friday and it was here Monday. Everything that makes War the Charge special survived the reproduction. My partner is hard to impress and even he was taken with it.
Thanks for the review, and for trusting us with a gift order. Glad it arrived when it was supposed to.
