EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print depicts General William Booth, the esteemed founder of the Salvation Army. Painted by Noel Denholm Davis, this artwork measures an impressive 178.4x101.6 cm and is housed in Nottingham City Museums and Galleries at Nottingham Castle. General William Booth, a Methodist preacher from England, established The Salvation Army in 1865. His vision was to provide aid and support to those in need, offering spiritual guidance alongside practical assistance. This portrait captures his essence perfectly. With a bushy white beard and piercing eyes, General Booth's aged yet determined face exudes wisdom and compassion. His raised hand points forward with conviction, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to serving others through the principles of "blood and fire". The painting showcases General Booth's iconic red crest emblem prominently displayed on his attire—a powerful representation of faith intertwined with humanitarianism. As the leader of East London Christian Mission (later renamed The Salvation Army), General Booth dedicated his life to uplifting marginalized communities and fighting social injustice. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to General William Booth's profound impact on society—an enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations worldwide through the work of The Salvation Army.
