EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative cover of The Illustrated London News, dated April 28th, 1945, captures the elated mood of the British people as they celebrated the long-awaited victory in Europe during World War II. The image, created by renowned war artist and illustrator Tom Chibnall, depicts a jubilant crowd gathered in Trafalgar Square, London, waving Union Jack flags and cheering. In the foreground, a soldier in uniform, weary but relieved, joins in the festivities. The iconic clock tower of Big Ben stands proudly in the background, its face adorned with a large 'V for Victory' sign. The cover artfully conveys the sense of unity, relief, and triumph that swept through the nation as the war in Europe came to an end. This historic moment in time is beautifully preserved in this vibrant and detailed illustration, offering a poignant glimpse into the collective joy and relief felt by the British people during this pivotal period in history.
