EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking cartoon print titled "WORLD WAR I: CARTOON, 1915" captures the essence of the destructive nature of war. Created by American artist Boardman Robinson in 1915, this artwork personifies the forces that led to World War I. The image depicts a father figure representing Greed and a mother figure symbolizing Pride. Together, they are shown giving birth to War itself. The use of anthropomorphic characters highlights how these negative human traits can give rise to conflict and suffering on a global scale. Robinson's artistic style emphasizes the sinister nature of these personifications. The Father (Greed) is depicted as an evil demon-like figure, while the Mother (Pride) stands tall with a shield made of steel, suggesting her unwavering belief in nationalistic ideals. This cartoon serves as a commentary on politics and pacifism during that era. It challenges viewers to reflect on the consequences of unchecked greed and excessive pride within society, which ultimately lead to devastating conflicts like World War I. As we observe this historical artwork today, it reminds us not only of past events but also urges us to consider our own role in preventing future wars fueled by similar vices.
