EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment from history, depicting the harsh reality faced by poor farming folk during the tumultuous period of the Thirty Year War. Taken from "Bilder Deutscher Geschichte" an album of cigarette cards produced by Cigaretten-Bilderdienst in Altona-Bahrenfeld, Hamburg, Germany in 1936, this image offers a glimpse into the lives of those who were forcibly recruited to fight as mercenaries. In this scene, we witness a group of men and women being rounded up by recruiters. The weary expressions on their faces reveal both fear and resignation as they are torn away from their peaceful agricultural existence to join armies engaged in brutal conflict. The presence of horses further emphasizes that these individuals will be thrust into battle rather than continue their humble farm work. The unknown creator skillfully captures not only the historical context but also conveys a sense of empathy towards these peasants-turned-soldiers. Through his lens, he immortalizes their struggle and sacrifice for future generations to contemplate. As we reflect upon this photograph today, it serves as a reminder of how war can disrupt even the most tranquil lives and force ordinary people into extraordinary circumstances. It prompts us to appreciate our own freedom while acknowledging those who have endured hardship throughout history.
