EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating illustration by Georges Paul LEONNEC titled "Take care of the kid. . . huh?" evokes a sense of tenderness and complexity within its 1917 context. The image, originally published in "La Baionnette" on November 15th, showcases a young girl dressed in a traditional French costume, holding a basket filled with food and laboring tools. This depiction highlights the changing roles and responsibilities of women during the First World War. In this thought-provoking artwork, Leonnec skillfully portrays the challenges faced by families as men were called to war, leaving women to take on new roles as breadwinners. The girl's determined expression reflects her understanding of the weight she now carries as she takes care of both herself and her family. The symbolism embedded in this engraving is profound; from the bottle of wine representing domestic stain to the bag symbolizing modernization. It speaks volumes about woman emancipation during that era. Through his masterful strokes, Leonnec captures not only the hardships but also moments of love and connection between parents and their children amidst tumultuous times. The subtle kiss shared between father and daughter signifies an unwavering bond despite societal changes. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how historical events shape society's perception of gender roles while showcasing resilience in face adversity. As we reflect upon this piece today, it prompts us to appreciate progress made towards equality while acknowledging there is still work to be done for true empowerment for all genders.
