EDITORS COMMENTS
Like when there was war (colour litho) captures a poignant moment in history, depicting the aftermath of World War I. The image showcases the French gunboat Loreley, accompanied by armed canoes, patrolling the Ruhr River as part of their occupation duties. This powerful illustration, created by Achille Beltrame in 1923 for Courier Sunday, offers a glimpse into the post-war era. The scene portrays a sense of tension and vigilance as sailors stand guard on the ship's deck while navigating through the bustling harbour. The uniforms worn by these brave men symbolize their dedication to service and protection. In this war-ravaged landscape, with destroyed docks and damaged ships scattered along the riverbank, it is evident that reparation efforts are underway. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life; from the heavy artillery mounted on board to the weary expressions etched onto each sailor's face. The composition highlights not only the physical destruction caused by war but also emphasizes themes of resilience and strength. This print serves as a reminder of past conflicts and honors those who sacrificed their lives during this tumultuous period in history. It stands as an enduring testament to human endurance amidst adversity.
