A Bargain: A Humorous Take on Wartime Trading in 1916 (Cartoon, A Bargain) This cartoon, titled "A Bargain," published in 1916, offers a humorous perspective on the trade of war-related items during the first World War. The scene unfolds on a bustling French street, where a well-dressed gentleman, intrigued by the wares of a junk shop, approaches the shopkeeper with great interest. The shopkeeper, an ample man with a mischievous grin, seems to have an endless supply of curiosities, with an array of items hanging in his window and piled high on the pavement outside. The gentleman, wearing a fashionable coat, inquires if the shopkeeper has any rare war-related items to offer. The shopkeeper, ever the showman, responds with a flourish, revealing a mandolin, which he claims was once played by a famous French soldier. The man, clearly intrigued, asks the price, to which the shopkeeper replies, "A bargain, monsieur!" The cartoon's title, "A Bargain," adds to the humor of the situation, as the man's coat, adorned with military insignia, suggests that he may already have more than enough war memorabilia. The exchange between the two men highlights the unique way in which the war economy influenced everyday life, with even the most ordinary items taking on historical significance. This charming cartoon, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a lighthearted yet insightful look at the world of wartime trading during the first World War.
