On the Telephone - The Tragic Echoes of Fighting, 1915
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this lithograph by Lucien Hector Jonas, we are transported back to the haunting echoes of World War I. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit barracks, where soldiers gather around a table illuminated by lamplight. One soldier stands at attention, wearing his uniform and cap while clutching the telephone receiver tightly to his ear. The atmosphere is tense as news from the frontlines reverberates through the room. His comrades lean in with rapt interest, their faces etched with concern and anticipation. Each man wears a different expression – some hopeful, others fearful – as they anxiously await updates from loved ones or crucial information about battles fought far away. Jonas masterfully captures both the physical and emotional weight of war in this poignant image. The soldier's weary eyes reflect countless sleepless nights spent on high alert, while his jacket bears witness to untold stories of sacrifice and bravery. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the profound impact that communication had during times of conflict. In an era before instant messaging or video calls, these soldiers relied on telephones as lifelines connecting them to a world beyond their barracks walls. As we gaze upon this print from "On the Telephone" let us honor those who served bravely during World War I and remember that even amidst tragedy and turmoil, hope can be found within human connection.
