EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a scene of tranquility unfolded in the heart of Paris. In Bagatelle Park, herds of sheep grazed peacefully on the lush, green grass, oblivious to the unfolding conflict just beyond the park's borders. This unusual sight was not a mere pastoral idyll, but a vital wartime measure. With the city under siege and food supplies running low, the French government had taken the decision to use the expanses of Bagatelle Park as a reserve for livestock, ensuring a steady supply of meat for the Parisian population. The image, captured on 8 September 1914, depicts a scene of pastoral calm amidst the tumult of war. The sheep, with their shaggy coats and curious expressions, seem to be enjoying their temporary reprieve from the rigors of farm life. The grass, dotted with the animals, stretches out in every direction, providing a stark contrast to the barren, battle-scarred landscapes that were becoming all too common in the war-torn Europe. The photograph, taken from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the wartime efforts to maintain a semblance of normalcy amidst the chaos of the First World War. The sight of these sheep in Bagatelle Park serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the human spirit, even in the most challenging of times.
