EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and hardships of the Western Front during Christmas of 1916, a miraculous moment unfolded for one weary French soldier. In this evocative and poignant front cover design for La Baionnette, a soldier, dressed in his blue helmet and uniform, with a thick beard, stumbles upon an unexpected discovery in the dimly lit night. Nestled within a crate marked "Fragile," he finds the infant Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothes. The winter sky above, adorned with stars, serves as a serene backdrop to this heartwarming scene. The cartoon illustration, published in La Baionnette, a French satirical magazine, offers a momentary respite from the harsh realities of war, reminding us of the enduring power of hope and faith even in the darkest of times.
