Aged Bolshevism Bottle Bowl Bread Communal Communism Community Dinner Husband Media Newspaper Potatoes Press Read Satire Satirical Severe Shared Sharing Spreading Unattractive Wine 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking cartoon from 1919 captures the anxiety and unease of a middle-aged couple as they sit at their dinner table, deep in conversation. The husband, with furrowed brow and glasses perched on his nose, reads intently from a newspaper, his wife looking on with concern. The headline of the newspaper, "Bolshevism Spreading in France," is a cause for alarm. The cartoonist satirically depicts the harsh realities of communism under the regime of Bolshevism, with an image of women being shared around a communal table, their expressions severe and unattractive as they reach for a bowl of potatoes or a bottle of wine. The image of communal sharing is a stark contrast to the intimate and private dinner table setting of the couple, highlighting the potential loss of individuality and privacy under such a system. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the historical anxieties surrounding the spread of communism in Europe during the aftermath of World War I, and the impact it would have on traditional family structures and values.
