EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "La Baionnette, Satirique en Couleurs, 1915.9.2: war of 14-18" captures the essence of the First World War through a powerful engraving by Lucien Metivet. The image depicts two individuals engrossed in reading a publication amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. In this poignant scene, we witness the significance of communication during times of conflict. Despite being surrounded by sadness and despair, these two figures find solace in seeking information and staying connected with the outside world. The engraving symbolizes how even in moments of darkness, knowledge can provide a glimmer of hope. Metivet's caricature style adds depth to this artwork as it conveys both emotion and satire simultaneously. Through his skilled craftsmanship, he portrays not only the pride and resilience of the French population but also their skepticism towards war. The presence of pansies within the composition further enhances its meaning. Pansies are often associated with thoughtfulness and remembrance, serving as a reminder that every battle has consequences beyond what meets the eye. This print serves as a historical artifact from one of humanity's most devastating conflicts—the First World War—allowing us to reflect on its impact on society at large. It encapsulates both individual experiences and collective sentiments during those tumultuous years between 1914-1918.
