The Butter Line, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant pencil drawing by Canadian artist Frank Milton Armington. This artwork, housed in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Canada, offers a glimpse into the hardships faced during World War I. The scene depicted in this print showcases a bustling street market filled with lines of people patiently waiting to purchase butter. The crowd is dense and diverse, reflecting the shared struggle experienced by individuals from all walks of life during this tumultuous time. Armington's meticulous attention to detail captures not only the physical presence of the queue but also conveys a sense of scarcity and rationing. The drawing serves as a visual reminder of how shortages permeated daily life during the Great War. Through his skillful strokes, Armington transports us back to an era marked by hardship and sacrifice. It serves as a testament to resilience and unity amidst adversity. As we observe this artwork today, it prompts us to reflect on the immense challenges faced by those who lived through World War I. "The Butter Line, 1917" stands as an enduring symbol of human endurance and resourcefulness in times of crisis. It invites us to appreciate our present-day abundance while honoring those who endured scarcity for our sake.
