The Salesman,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a poignant and thought-provoking cartoon from 1915, depicting a moment of normalcy amidst the brutalities of World War I. A salesman, dressed in a sharp suit and hat, flirts with a woman as she tries on a pair of gloves in a shop. The woman, dressed in a blue dress and green hat, sits in a chair, her expression one of delight as she examines the gloves. But the scene is not as it seems. Behind the salesman, a shadow looms ominously. It is the shadow of German soldiers, their severed hands skewered on a sword. The contrast between the mundane activity of buying gloves and the brutal reality of war is stark and shocking. The cartoon, created in 1915 during the height of World War I, serves as a reminder of the stark contrasts and paradoxes of wartime. The salesman's flirtatious banter and the woman's fashionable attire are a stark contrast to the brutalities of war, represented by the shadowy figures behind them. The woman's feather hat and stockings, along with the salesman's box of gloves, are remnants of a bygone era, a time when life went on as normal, despite the horrors of war. The cartoon is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, even in the face of unimaginable brutality. The use of shadow and contrast in the cartoon adds to its impact, creating a sense of unease and tension that lingers long after the image has been seen. The cartoon is a powerful historical document, a glimpse into a time when the world was forever changed by the events of the First World War.
