EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Devastated Aisne, 1919" by Poulbot, Francisque takes us back to the aftermath of World War I. The image showcases a hauntingly desolate scene in Aisne, France, where destruction and demolition have left their mark on the landscape. In vibrant color lithography, Poulbot's artistic talent brings this post-war devastation to life. The poster serves as a powerful piece of propaganda that aimed to raise awareness about the consequences of war. It depicts a woman - perhaps a mother - standing amidst the ruins with an expression of profound sadness and despair etched across her face. The illustrator skillfully captures not only the physical destruction but also conveys the emotional toll that war has taken on individuals and communities. Poverty is evident in every corner of this once-thriving town in Picardie. As we reflect upon this image from almost a century ago, it serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact that conflict can have on society. It prompts us to consider how fragile peace truly is and encourages us to strive for unity within Europe and beyond. Barbara Singer's photograph beautifully preserves this historical moment captured by Poulbot's engraving. Through its vivid colors and poignant subject matter, it continues to evoke emotions and remind us never to forget the lessons learned from our shared past.
