EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "Le Petit journal publiera Marjolie... par Michel Morphy" and dated September 2, 1916, depicts a powerful moment of defiance and hope amidst the chaos of war. In the foreground, a Red Cross nurse, her uniform emblazoned with the symbol of the Swiss Cross, is shown breaking free from the grasp of a Deaths Head Hussar officer. The officer, wearing the distinctive skull-and-crossbones insignia of the Deaths Head Hussars, is presumably Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, who led the regiment during World War I. The background of the poster reveals a scene of destruction and turmoil, with soldiers huddled together as they are shelled by unseen forces. The ominous clouds of smoke and the chaotic scene of war contrast sharply with the determined expression on the face of the nurse, who defiantly pushes against her captor's chest, her eyes fixed on the horizon. This poster was an advertisement for a book, likely a novel or collection of stories, by the French artist Michel Morphy. The title and publication date are prominently displayed at the bottom of the image, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the world of Marjolie and experience the drama and emotion of the events depicted in this powerful image.
