EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Le Lire rouge, Satirique en N & B, 1918_10_5: War of 14 -18, Belligerants et symbols" captures a powerful and thought-provoking illustration by Charles Leandre. This black and white satirical artwork from 1918 depicts the War of 14-18 and its belligerents through various symbols. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as victory, Soissons, gastronomy, Aisne, Roye, Noyon, Chateau-Thierry, and Bapaume to convey the essence of this historical conflict. In the engraving's foreground stand two prominent French generals: Charles Mangin (1866-1925) and Henri Gouraud (1867-1946). Their presence adds depth to the composition while symbolizing leadership during wartime. Surrounding them are caricatures representing different aspects of war – from injured soldiers to press coverage. This image showcases Leandre's talent for capturing complex themes in his illustrations. The use of brown tones creates a somber atmosphere that reflects the gravity of World War I. Additionally, it highlights how food played a significant role during this period as an allegory for sustenance amidst chaos. Overall, this print serves as both a historical document and an artistic expression. It offers viewers a glimpse into the past while inviting contemplation on war's impact on society at large.
