EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases a humorous and imaginative vision for a World War I film, as conceived by renowned British cartoonist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. The image, dated 1917, presents a pulsating military drama titled "The Military Cross," a two-reel cinematic masterpiece that promises to deliver a unique blend of humor and drama. Bairnsfather, best known for his Bystander cartoons, is seen here in this snapshot, deep in thought as he sketches out a potential storyline for his war film. With a pencil in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face, the cartoonist brings to life the characters and scenes that would populate "The Military Cross." The photograph's caption, "Humorous pictorial trailer for a possible war film imagined by Bystander cartoonist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather," hints at the amusing and lighthearted tone that would set this film apart from the grim realities of the war. The use of the term "pictorial trailer" suggests that Bairnsfather was not only envisioning the narrative but also the visual style and pacing of the film. The first World War was a significant historical event, and the idea of creating a film based on the experiences of soldiers during this time was a popular one. However, Bairnsfather's unique perspective as a cartoonist allowed him to approach the subject matter in a fresh and innovative way, making "The Military Cross" an intriguing prospect for both the military and cinema audiences of the time. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the creative process of a talented artist and the potential impact of his work on the emerging film industry during the early years of the 20th century.
