EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the head and shoulders of a German cavalryman, as depicted by French artist Emile Dupuis in his series of postcards from 1914-1915. The intense gaze of the soldier is both captivating and haunting, giving us a glimpse into the life of a German soldier during World War I. Dupuis's attention to detail is evident in the intricate uniform and expression on the cavalryman's face, showcasing his skill as an artist. The image conveys a sense of strength and determination, reflecting the resilience required by soldiers during wartime. As part of Holt's Battlefields Collection, this print serves as a historical artifact that allows us to connect with the past and gain insight into the experiences of those who fought in WWI. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on all sides of the conflict. The juxtaposition between "Nos Allies" (our Allied soldiers) and "Leurs Caboches" (German soldiers - their thick skulls) highlights the propaganda prevalent during this time period. Despite these divisions, it is important to remember that behind every uniform was a human being with hopes, fears, and dreams. Overall, this print offers a poignant reminder of the realities faced by soldiers during WWI and serves as a tribute to their bravery and sacrifice.
