EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Plea for Peace in a Time of War (1913) This evocative illustration, created in 1913, captures the essence of a growing unease and anxiety that was sweeping through the world as the shadow of war loomed large. The diminutive figure of a concerned Taxpayer, labeled as such, implores the colossal figure of The World, with its globe-like head, to come home and abandon the destructive path of war. The World, depicted as a weary and heavy-hearted figure, is seen leaning on the bar in a barroom, clutching a bottle labeled "Increased Armaments" and a wallet labeled "War Budget." Behind the bar stands the Roman deity Mars, labeled as Barkeep Mars, offering a bottle labeled "Airships" as if to suggest an alternative means of resolving conflicts. The shelves and the bar are laden with an array of bottles, each one representing a different aspect of warfare - Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Fortifications, Battleships, Submarines, Munitions, Cruisers, and Ordanance. The ominous atmosphere of the illustration is further emphasized by the ominous clouds gathering outside the barroom window, hinting at the impending storm of war. The date of the illustration, July 9, 1913, serves as a poignant reminder of the fragile peace that existed at the time, with the First World War breaking out just a few short years later. The illustration stands as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the plea for peace that resonated deeply with people around the world. The caption "Father, Dear Father, Come Home with Me Now!" serves as a poignant call to action, urging leaders to reconsider their actions and seek a peaceful resolution to their differences.
