The Horrors of the War, feeding Starving Refugees from Santiago at Caney
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph that captures the devastating consequences of war on innocent civilians. Created by Henry Marriott Paget in 1898, this print depicts a distressing scene where starving refugees are being fed amidst the chaos and destruction caused by bombardment. In this heart-wrenching image, women with haggard faces and protruding countenances desperately try to feed their children while men look on with anguish. The streets are trampled and crowded as people gather for meager rations of sugar, crackers, and a teacupful of food. The eyes of these starving refugees tell stories of suffering and desperation. The Spanish-American War serves as the backdrop for this scene, highlighting how conflict threatens not only lives but also basic necessities like food supply. The market in Santiago at Caney has been crushed under bombings, leaving its inhabitants without means to sustain themselves. Paget's engraving skillfully conveys the horrors faced by those caught in the crossfire of war. It reminds us that behind every statistic or battle report lies real human suffering – innocent children who bear witness to unimaginable hardships. This poignant artwork serves as a stark reminder that wars have far-reaching consequences beyond military strategies and political agendas. It calls upon viewers to reflect on our collective responsibility towards protecting vulnerable populations during times of conflict and finding peaceful resolutions to global disputes.
