EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the cover of "The Red Laughter", a satirical magazine published in 1918 during the War of 14-18. The illustration by Charles Laborde depicts a scene from daily life, highlighting the impact of rationing restrictions on women during wartime. In the image, a fashionable woman wearing an elegant hat is shown expressing her frustration with the newly imposed restrictions. The caption beneath her reads, "Restrictions! I knew them mostly before the war, I didn't eat every day". This statement reflects how rationing measures affected not only food availability but also societal norms and personal experiences. Laborde's illustration skillfully combines humor and criticism to shed light on the challenges faced by women during this period. The exaggerated portrayal of an overweight Frenchwoman adds to the caricature-like quality of the image, emphasizing both societal expectations regarding beauty standards and scarcity caused by rationing. "The Red Laughter" was known for its satirical take on various aspects of society, including fashion trends and moral values. Through this cover illustration, Laborde effectively conveys his commentary on these issues within the context of war. This print serves as a historical document that provides valuable insights into everyday life during World War I. It offers viewers a glimpse into how people coped with hardships while maintaining their sense of humor amidst challenging circumstances.
