EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Cleaning up after the Thirty Years War" by Arthur Moreland transports us back to a tumultuous period in history. Depicting a scene of post-war cleanup, the image offers a humorous take on the aftermath of this devastating conflict. With its comical and amusing elements, this artwork showcases Moreland's ability to infuse historical events with light-heartedness. The band of soldiers depicted here are portrayed as mischievous characters engaged in cleaning up the mess left behind by their marauding activities during the war. Their exaggerated expressions and gestures add an entertaining touch to the overall composition. The setting is Germany, where Frederick William, known as "the Hun" takes center stage as both a brigand and a symbol of German resilience. As we observe these soldiers tidying up amidst ruins and debris, we are reminded of Europe's complex history and how it has shaped our present-day European Union. Through his digitally cleaned image, Moreland invites us to reflect on not only the impact of war but also on human resilience and our ability to find humor even in challenging times. This print serves as a reminder that laughter can be found even amid destruction – offering us hope for brighter days ahead.
