EDITORS COMMENTS
- "Les Heures d'Ivresse" (The Hours of Intoxication): Unknown Specimen of Pages Inspired by the Beginning of the Great War, 1914 This and enigmatic print, titled "KULTUR" - "Les Heures d'Ivresse" (The Hours of Intoxication), dates back to the tumultuous year of 1914. The creator of this allegorical masterpiece remains a mystery, adding to its allure. Originally published in the prestigious German illustrated newspaper, Illustrirte Zeitung, in August 1914, this lithograph was later featured in the second volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The print depicts an allegorical figure personifying the concept of "Kultur" (Culture), who stands tall and proud, holding a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. The sword represents the militaristic and nationalistic fervor that was sweeping through Europe at the onset of the First World War, while the scroll symbolizes the optimistic belief in the cultural superiority of Germany. The print's title, "Les Heures d'Ivresse" (The Hours of Intoxication), suggests an intoxication with warfare and the intoxicating allure of weaponry and weaponry. The black and white composition, with its stark contrasts and intricate details, adds to the print's haunting and evocative quality. As a testament to the power of the press and its role in shaping public opinion during times of war, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the complex interplay between culture, militarism, and propaganda during the early 20th century. Despite the print's origins in a German newspaper, it offers a thought-provoking perspective on the events leading up to the First World War, inviting viewers to reflect on the role of the media in shaping our understanding of history.
