EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon print, dated 1918 from Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a group of sailors on the shore during the First World War, taking a moment to admire a young woman in a naval-style costume. The backdrop of the image is the vast expanse of the sea, with ships anchored in the distance. The sailors, with their weathered faces and worn uniforms, show the effects of their time at sea. The woman, with her confident posture and striking appearance, captures their attention. Her naval-style attire, complete with a hat adorned with a large anchor, is a testament to the role of women during wartime. France, a major player in the conflict, is the likely location for this scene. The cartoon not only illustrates the camaraderie and lightheartedness among the soldiers but also highlights the unique role women played in supporting the war effort, often in non-traditional roles. This poignant image offers a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of those on the home front during the First World War.
