In a scene of justice, a young woman holds scales before a diverse crowd, including a British judge in scarlet robes. At her feet, two babies symbolise hope for the future, playing happily. Edmund Sullivan, a London-born artist, began his career studying under his father in Hastings before working as an illustrator for magazines like the Graphic and the Pall Mall Budget. He later gained acclaim for his book illustrations. This artwork is part of the Ministry of Information's 1917 series, The Great War: Britain's Efforts and Ideals, depicting Britain's war efforts comprehensively.
Edmund Sullivan’s ‘The Reign of Justice’ is a more troubling image for the viewer of today, using figures to represent different countries of the world – with people of colour firmly placed at the back – looking up to the white female figure of Jus-tice holding her scales. A wigged and robed judge holds a prominent position while two white babies play in the foreground.
The Efforts and Ideals series were made as limited edition of lithographic prints of each work commissioned by the British Government during the First World War and given to various heritage institutions to store for future sale, including Imperial War Museums. This print has been agreed to be sold to raise funds for our collections Art department and more copies have been retained in our storage.
