EDITORS COMMENTS
Tightening his belt - hunger is the best source" is a poignant and thought-provoking political cartoon from the period of the First World War, created by J. Harold Hudson. This powerful image serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war and the sacrifices made by ordinary people during this tumultuous time. The cartoon depicts a soldier, dressed in military uniform, sitting dejectedly on a chair with his back turned to the viewer. His belt is in his hands as he tightens it, his face etched with concern and determination. The caption above his head reads "hunger is the best source," a phrase that is both ironic and revealing. The soldier's expression and posture convey a sense of resignation and acceptance, as if he has come to terms with the fact that hunger will be his constant companion during the war. This image is a typical example of the anti-German sentiment that was prevalent during the First World War. The cartoon's title and caption suggest that the soldier's hunger is a deliberate tactic employed by the Germans to weaken the Allied forces. The use of the word "source" further emphasizes this idea, implying that the Germans are the origin of the soldier's suffering. The cartoon is a historical document that provides valuable insights into the psychological and emotional impact of war on soldiers and civilians alike. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people during times of conflict and the importance of empathy and understanding in times of crisis. J. Harold Hudson was a prominent political cartoonist of the period, known for his incisive commentary and powerful imagery. His work appeared in various publications, including the Chicago Tribune and the New York World. This particular cartoon is a testament to his artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of the human condition in the midst of war.
