EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and poignant print that encapsulates the spirit of resilience and patriotism during the First World War. Created by Guy Arnoux in 1917, this color lithograph depicts a soldier turned ploughman, embodying the dual roles many men had to assume during times of war. In this image, we see a proud soldier standing tall amidst a picturesque countryside landscape. Dressed in his uniform with puttees wrapped around his legs and a cap on his head, he holds both a bayonet and rifle as symbols of his military duty. However, it is not the weapons that define him in this moment; rather, it is the plough he guides through the earth. The juxtaposition of war and agriculture speaks volumes about the resilience and determination of those who fought for their homeland. As he diligently works on tilling the land with horses nearby, there is an undeniable sense of hope for peace beyond conflict. The soldier's checked shirt adds an element of simplicity and familiarity to this scene - reminding us that even heroes are ordinary people driven by extraordinary circumstances. "The Soldier Ploughman" serves as both propaganda for agricultural efforts during wartime and as a tribute to those who valiantly served their country.

This print stands as a testament to human strength, unity, and unwavering dedication to one's homeland - reminding us that even in times
