EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous map from the First World War era captures a unique perspective on daily life during wartime. Titled "The habit is a second nature," the illustration shows a hairy soldier on permission, choosing to sleep on straw rather than a bed. This comical portrayal highlights the resilience and adaptability of individuals faced with challenging circumstances. During times of conflict, soldiers often had to make do with limited resources and uncomfortable conditions. The image of the hairy soldier opting for straw over a bed reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness required to navigate life in the midst of war. Beyond its comedic value, this map also offers insight into themes of patriotism, sexuality, and humor prevalent during World War I. The caricatured depiction of the soldier adds a touch of whimsy to an otherwise serious subject matter. As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded of the human capacity for finding moments of levity even in times of great adversity. The blend of satire and reality captured in this illustration serves as a poignant reminder that laughter can be a powerful tool for coping with hardship.
