EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a moment of tranquility is captured in this enchanting 1916 cartoon. A French soldier, dressed in his blue uniform with a fur-trimmed cap and a proud, determined expression, takes his mother for a walk outside. Accompanying them are their beloved pets, a Borzoi and a lapdog, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The soldier's mother, dressed in a fashionable yet practical outfit, dons a short, fur-trimmed skirt, a full-skirted coat with a fur hem, collar, and muff, a vertical hat adorned with a feather, and high-heeled Louis boots. Her elegant attire, reminiscent of the Belle Époque era, stands in stark contrast to the harsh realities of war. As they stroll along, the soldier playfully teases his mother, suggesting that onlookers might mistake her for his fiancée. The mother, with a knowing smile, seems to enjoy the attention, adding a lighthearted moment to the otherwise somber time. The cartoon, with its charming depiction of a mother-son bond and their cherished pets, offers a glimpse into the lives of those affected by the war, reminding us of the human stories that lie beneath the historical narrative. This image, brought to us by Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of love and connection, even in the most challenging of times.
