EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image from 1915, a little girl is peacefully asleep in an armchair, dreaming of her soldier father who is away fighting in the First World War. The scene captures the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, as well as the harsh reality of war that has separated families.
The soft pink tones of the room and the cozy chintz cushion create a sense of domestic comfort, contrasting with the rifle and bayonet leaning against the wall - symbols of the conflict raging outside their home. The presence of a small puppy curled up at her feet adds to the feeling of warmth and companionship in this otherwise somber setting.
As she sleeps, her mind wanders to thoughts of her father in his uniform, bravely serving his country far away. The candle burning low on a nearby table serves as a reminder that even in times of darkness and uncertainty, there is still hope for peace and reunion.
Cette image émouvante de 1915 montre une petite fille endormie dans un fauteuil, rêvant de son père soldat qui est parti se battre pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le contraste entre l'innocence de l'enfance et la réalité cruelle de la guerre est saisissant dans cette scène touchante.
