EDITORS COMMENTS
This facsimile print depicts an illuminated address presented by Her Majesty Queen Alexandra to the Japanese Red Cross Society on the 17th of December 1915, at Marlborough House in London. The event took place in recognition of the exceptional services rendered by the Japanese Red Cross Mission at the British Red Cross Hospital in Netley during World War I. The intricately designed address, adorned with gold accents and elegant calligraphy, was penned by renowned typographer and calligrapher, William Graily Hewitt. The lettering was executed with great precision and care by Mrs. Sydney Morris Cockerell, adding to the overall beauty and significance of the document. This illuminated address was published in the March 1916 volume of a prominent British magazine, providing a glimpse into the historical event for readers around the world. The design, with its rich colors and ornate details, serves as a testament to the strong bonds of cooperation and humanitarian spirit that united the British and Japanese Red Cross Societies during a time of global conflict. The British Red Cross Society, founded in 1870, has a long history of providing humanitarian aid and assistance to those in need. This facsimile print offers a unique and captivating glimpse into a significant moment in the organization's history, as well as the international cooperation that defined the Red Cross movement during the First World War.
