EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolour by Rodo Pissarro, titled 'Business as Usual,' captures the indomitable spirit of Londoners during the tumultuous alterations of Europe's political landscape in 1915, as the First World War raged on. The cartoon depicts a greengrocer, dressed in a crisp apron, waistcoat, and cap, standing defiantly outside his shop with a determined expression on his face. The shop's window displays an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, suggesting a sense of normalcy amidst the chaos of the war. The map of Europe in the background is being redrawn, with borders being redrawn and territories being reclaimed. Despite the significant geopolitical shifts happening across the continent, the London shopkeeper continues to ply his trade, perhaps as a symbol of resilience and continuity in the face of adversity. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the everyday people whose lives were affected by the war, and the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy during times of uncertainty. Rodo Pissarro, also known as Ludovic or Rodolphe Pissarro, was a French-British artist and the grandnephew of the renowned Impressionist painter Camille Pissarro. He was known for his watercolours and etchings, and his work often reflected the social and political issues of his time. 'Business as Usual' is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the enduring nature of trade and commerce, even during the most trying of times.
