EDITORS COMMENTS
Peace, Perfect Peace" is a whimsical and humorous print by British illustrator Heath Robinson, depicting the aftermath of the energetic peace celebrations that marked the end of the First World War in 1919. The scene unfolds on a chaotic and litter-strewn street, where fallen flags and banners lie discarded amongst the debris. A man is shown comatose in a letter box, while a couple fast asleep on an upturned car seek shelter from the persistent drizzle under a Union Jack flag. A police officer, ever vigilant, has stopped for a much-needed rest on a convenient windowsill. The image captures the exuberance and jubilation of the moment, as well as the inevitable hangover and chaos that followed the night before. Heath Robinson's unique brand of humour and intricate detailing bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to witness the historical significance of this pivotal moment in world history. The print is a testament to the human spirit, resilience, and the ability to find joy and laughter even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This print is a poignant reminder of the end of the First World War and the hope for a peaceful future that it represented. The image is not to be confused with any commercial use or reproduction, and is available for rights-managed licensing only through Mary Evans Prints Online.
