EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Potato Bread, Gott Strafe England" by Arthur Moreland takes us back in time to the era of World War I. The engraving depicts a humorous scene that combines history and satire with a touch of comic relief. In this comical illustration for "The History of the Hun" we see a group of German soldiers, known as Huns during the war, gathered around a table enjoying their meal. However, instead of regular bread, they are presented with potato bread - an amusing twist on wartime rationing and scarcity. The title itself, "Gott Strafe England" translates to "God Punish England" in German and reflects the tensions between Germany and England during that period. It adds another layer to the humor portrayed in this artwork. Moreland's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece; from the expressions on each soldier's face to their uniforms adorned with distinctive German insignias. The artist's ability to infuse historical events with light-heartedness creates an entertaining narrative that transcends time. As we admire this digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but appreciate how art has always been used as a means to cope with difficult times through laughter and wit. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, there is room for amusement and levity.
