EDITORS COMMENTS
Calendar, December 1914 - Enlisting, First World War" by Hermann-Paul, captures the poignant moment of a young couple's separation as he embarks on his military journey during the early days of the First World War. The year is 1914, and the tension of impending conflict is palpable in the couple's expressions and the somber mood of the scene. The man, dressed in civilian attire, gazes intently at his loved one as they share a final embrace on the coastal shore. She, with tears in her eyes, clings to him, knowing that their time together is coming to an end. Behind them, a ship sails in the distance, symbolizing the vast and uncertain journey that awaits the enlistee. The French flag flying from the mast serves as a reminder of the international conflict that has brought them to this moment. The couple's goodbyes are not just a farewell to each other, but a farewell to the familiar and the known. The 1910s were a decade marked by significant change and upheaval, and this image encapsulates the sense of uncertainty and sacrifice that defined the era. The First World War, which began in August 1914, would last for over four years and claim the lives of millions. This poignant scene serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of love and connection in the face of adversity."
