EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant group portrait illustration, titled 'Belgian Woman and Children in Flight,' captures the desperate and weary expressions on the faces of a Belgian mother and her two young children during the tumultuous year of 1918. The image, which is believed to have been published in a magazine around June of that year, depicts the trio seated on a makeshift cart or sled, their meager belongings piled haphazardly beside them. The woman's clothing is worn and tattered, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and determination as she gazes off into the distance. Her children, clinging to her tightly, mirror her emotions, their small faces etched with fear and uncertainty. The muted color palette of the illustration adds to the somber mood, creating a powerful visual representation of the hardships faced by civilians during the wartime era. The title 'March of the Women Collection' is attributed to this image, but it is not clear which publication it originally appeared in or which artist created this hauntingly beautiful work. Despite the uncertainty surrounding its origins, the 'Belgian Woman and Children in Flight' remains a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
