EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a unique piece of history - an engraving titled "The Soldier's Alphabet" from circa 1916. The letter Q is humorously depicted as if it has a magnetic pull, attracting soldiers towards it with brooms and barrows in hand. Published by E.R. Stop! in Paris, this series of 25 postcards was used by soldiers during the tumultuous years of World War I and beyond. Measuring at 9.5x14cm, this particular postcard is part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into the daily life and morale-boosting humor that sustained troops during times of conflict. The intricate details in the engraving capture not only the practical aspects of military life but also the lighter moments that brought camaraderie amongst comrades. As we reflect on this artifact from over a century ago, we are reminded of the resilience and creativity displayed by those who served their countries during challenging times. The alphabet theme adds an educational element to these postcards, perhaps serving as both entertainment and distraction for soldiers seeking solace amidst chaos. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by past generations and invites us to appreciate the ingenuity and spirit embodied in such historical relics.
