EDITORS COMMENTS
. This and thought-provoking color litho print by Joaquin Xaudaru y Echau takes us on a journey into the realm of aviation and its potential impact on dueling. Created in the early twentieth century, this illustration was originally featured in Les Peripeties de L'Aviation, a book that explored various aspects of aviation during that time. The image depicts two fighter aircraft engaged in a fierce battle high up in the sky. The artist's imagination runs wild as he envisions a future where duels take place not only between individuals but also among flying machines. With an air of danger and risk, this artwork highlights how advancements in technology can escalate conflicts to new heights. While dueling has historically been associated with personal honor and bravery, Xaudaru challenges our perception by emphasizing the dangers faced by witnesses. As we gaze upon this satirical cartoon, we are reminded that progress comes at a cost. The once-grounded confrontations have now taken to the skies, endangering not only those involved but also innocent bystanders who find themselves unwittingly caught up in these aerial battles. With its vibrant colors and humorous undertones, this print serves as both entertainment and social commentary. It invites us to reflect on how technological advancements can reshape traditional practices while raising questions about ethics and responsibility. Through his artistry, Xaudaru reminds us that progress should always be accompanied by careful consideration of its consequences – even when it comes to something as seemingly innocuous as dueling.
