EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the chaos and turmoil of the Western Front during World War I, Colonel Fitz-Shrapnel of Bruce Bairnsfather's famous "Fragmenting Forces" series receives an unexpected message from G.H.Q. Amidst the explosions and the constant threat of danger, the colonel and his men find humor in the mundane and administrative tasks of war. In this print from 1917, titled "Things That Matter," Colonel Fitz-Shrapnel is seen sitting at a makeshift desk, quill in hand, as he pens a response to the inquiry about the number of tins of raspberry jam issued to his unit on the previous Friday. The absurdity of the situation is not lost on the colonel, nor on Bairnsfather's audience, who would have found solace in the satirical commentary on the absurdities of war. This print, with its rich historical context and insight into the daily life of soldiers during the Great War, is a poignant reminder of the small things that mattered amidst the larger, more devastating events of history." "Bruce Bairnsfather's "Things That Matter" is a powerful reminder of the human spirit's ability to find humor and resilience in even the most challenging of circumstances. This print, with its intricate detail and vivid colors, captures the essence of Bairnsfather's unique brand of wartime satire and offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during World War I. The message from G.H.Q, with its seemingly insignificant request, serves as a reminder of the importance of record-keeping and communication, even in the midst of war. This print, a historical treasure from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a must-have for any history buff or collector of military art.
