These postcards were used by soldiers during the tumultuous years of World War I and beyond, offering a glimpse into their daily lives and sense of humor amidst the chaos.
Measuring at 9.5x14cm, this piece is part of a private collection that sheds light on the unique blend of military discipline and personal hygiene practices during wartime. The image captures a soldier undergoing a water treatment, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and health even in challenging circumstances.
The playful yet informative nature of these postcards reflects not only practical instructions for soldiers but also serves as a reminder of the resilience and adaptability required during times of conflict. The nudity depicted in the engraving adds a touch of vulnerability to the stoic figure in military uniform, highlighting the human aspect behind each soldier's facade.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating insight into early 20th-century military life in Europe, showcasing both practicality and humor through its depiction of hydrotherapy within an alphabetical context.
