Autres Temps, Outres Bills
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and humorous collection of two cartoons by the renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander Annual 1918. These cartoons, created during the height of the First World War, offer a unique insight into the experiences and emotions of soldiers during this historic period. The first cartoon, titled "Autres Temps" (Other Times), depicts a group of soldiers huddled around a makeshift fire in the trenches, wistfully gazing at a photograph of a festive Christmas scene back home. The caption reads, "They're jolly nice times we're having now, aren't they, Bill?" The soldiers' longing for the simple pleasures of peace and comfort is palpable, as they are forced to endure the harsh realities of war. The second cartoon, "Outres Bills" (Old Bills), shows a soldier counting his meager rations, with a pile of bills and a worried expression on his face. The caption reads, "It's a funny old world, Bill. Here I am, trying to live on a soldier's pay, and having to pay for my own funeral!" This cartoon highlights the financial struggles and the stark contrast between the soldier's military salary and the expenses of civilian life. These powerful and poignant cartoons by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather provide a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during the First World War, capturing the essence of their hopes, fears, and the longing for a return to normalcy. The images serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during this historic conflict. The Bystander Annual 1918, featuring these cartoons by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, is an important historical document that offers a unique perspective on the human side of the First World War. These cartoons continue to resonate with audiences today, as they remind us of the enduring power of art to capture and express the human experience.
