Academic Allegorical Allegory Bottom Fantasy Fight Join Kicking Refusing Sleeve Stripes Stuck Backside

EDITORS COMMENTS
This allegorical card, dated 1942, depicts a poignant moment during World War II in Italy. The image shows an Italian military officer, adorned with sleeve stripes, forcefully compelling an academic to join the fight for his country. The scholar, with his head buried in the ground, refuses to entertain the notion of engaging in war. The officer's determined expression and the academic's desperate resistance create a stark contrast, encapsulating the internal struggle many faced during this tumultuous time. The allegory serves as a reminder of the compulsion and resistance experienced during wartime, as individuals weighed the personal and societal consequences of their actions. This powerful image, though a work of fantasy, offers a glimpse into the complexities of the human experience during the 2nd World War.
