EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history through a cartoon propaganda postcard. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this color lithograph depicts a little boy soldier returning to his girl and destroyed home. The image evokes strong emotions as it showcases the devastating impact of war on innocent lives. Published in 1914, during World War I, this satirical drawing titled "How it felt to come home to Brighton" offers scathing satire on the realities faced by soldiers returning from battle. The artist skillfully portrays the destruction and chaos that war brings, emphasizing the contrast between the innocence of childhood and the harshness of conflict. The young boy's return is met with both joy and sadness as he reunites with his girl amidst their shattered surroundings. The symbolism behind their broken nest serves as a powerful reminder of how war disrupts not only homes but also relationships and dreams. Through its clever caricature style, this postcard aims to convey a message about the horrors experienced by children affected by war. It highlights their vulnerability while criticizing those responsible for sending them into battle. Displayed within a private collection, this thought-provoking artwork provides us with an opportunity to reflect on the lasting impact of war on individuals and communities alike.
