EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La Baionnette, Satirique en Couleurs, 1917_2_15: War of 14-18" by Lucien Metivet takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. The image is a powerful allegory that encapsulates the themes of war, patriotism, and finance during this period. In this intricate artwork, we see various symbols representing the belligerents involved in the conflict. The central figure is Marianne, a personification of France herself. She stands tall and proud, symbolizing resilience and determination in the face of adversity. Surrounding her are illustrations depicting different aspects related to war financing. The artist cleverly incorporates elements such as money bags and loanwords to highlight the economic strain caused by the war. These symbols serve as a reminder of how nations had to resort to borrowing funds for their military endeavors. Metivet's use of caricature adds a touch of satire to his work. Through exaggerated features and expressions on some figures' faces, he critiques both those profiting from war loans and those burdened with their repayment. This engraving not only captures an important moment in history but also serves as a reflection on human nature during times of conflict. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is always room for artistic expression and social commentary. Overall, "La Baionnette" offers viewers an insightful glimpse into the complexities surrounding World War I while showcasing Metivet's skillful craftsmanship as
