The "Murder of Edith Cavell: War Series" is a poignant and powerful collection of lithographs created by the American artist George Wesley Bellows in 1918. This series is a significant example of Bellows' engagement with political and social issues through his art, particularly his response to the atrocities of World War I. The series is named after Edith Cavell, a British nurse who was executed by a German firing squad in 1915 for aiding Allied soldiers in escaping from German-occupied Belgium. Cavell's death became a symbol of German brutality and galvanized public opinion against Germany during the war.

Bellows, known for his dynamic and often gritty depictions of urban life and social issues, turned his attention to the war in Europe with a series of works that conveyed the horrors and moral complexities of the conflict. The "Murder of Edith Cavell: War Series" consists of lithographs that are stark and dramatic, employing strong contrasts and vigorous lines to evoke the emotional intensity of the subject matter. These works are not merely historical records but are imbued with a sense of outrage and empathy, reflecting Bellows' own anti-war sentiments.

The lithographs in this series are notable for their graphic quality and the way they capture the brutality and inhumanity of war. They serve as a powerful commentary on the impact of war on individuals and society, and they highlight Bellows' skill in using art as a means of social and political critique. The "Murder of Edith Cavell: War Series" remains an important part of Bellows' oeuvre and a significant contribution to American art, illustrating the capacity of visual art to respond to and influence public perception of historical events.
