Caption: "Postcard, 1916_10: War of 14-18, Borrowing, View back, Journees patriotiques - A Satirical Illustration by Abel Faivre (1867-1945)". This postcard print from 1916 depicts a satirical illustration by the talented artist Abel Faivre. Titled "War of 14-18, Borrowing" it offers a thought-provoking commentary on the state of affairs during World War I. In this intricate artwork, Faivre skillfully captures the essence of patriotism and its relationship with money and borrowing. The image portrays a French soldier in full military uniform with an abundance of hair symbolizing courage and strength. Surrounding him are various elements representing the economy and financial aspects tied to war efforts. The soldier is shown holding out his hand as if requesting funds while behind him stands a towering figure labeled "Loanword". This clever visual metaphor highlights how nations often rely on loans to finance their wartime endeavors. It serves as both a critique and reflection on the economic realities faced during this tumultuous period. Faivre's attention to detail shines through in every aspect of this engraving, showcasing his mastery as an artist. The composition evokes emotions ranging from admiration for soldiers' bravery to contemplation about the costliness of war. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it reminds us not only of past conflicts but also prompts us to reflect on our own society's approach towards warfare and its consequences.
