EDITORS COMMENTS
(1916) This cartoon print, created in 1916 during the height of World War I, showcases a scene filled with an unusual blend of complacency and oblivion. The image is populated with a diverse cast of characters, including soldiers and civilians, all seemingly at ease with the ongoing conflict. In the foreground, a soldier, pipe in hand and a contented grin on his face, leans against a tree, his helmet resting on the ground beside him. Nearby, a group of soldiers engage in a game of cards, their focus solely on their game, oblivious to the chaos of war around them. Among the civilians, a businessman, puffing on a cigar, continues to work at his desk, while a clerk sorts papers with a focused expression. A nurse, with a bright and cheerful expression, attends to a patient in a hospital bed, the patient's side table adorned with a vase of flowers. Despite the ominous presence of a devil, lurking in the background with a sinister grin, the overall mood of the cartoon is one of optimism and complacency. The people in the image seem to believe that the war will not affect them directly, that they will continue to live their lives as usual. This powerful and thought-provoking cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the human tendency to underestimate the impact of major historical events, and the dangerous consequences of complacency during times of crisis.
