EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white postcard print from 1914 captures the satirical essence of the War of 14-18. Titled "Sur l Aisne up les mains" it depicts a scene that reflects both the desperation and irony of war. The image showcases soldiers from Germany Prussia, their military uniforms tattered and worn, as they raise their hands in surrender. However, instead of facing an opposing army, these weary soldiers find themselves confronted by hunger. The artist behind this thought-provoking piece is Maurice Radiguet (1866-1941), known for his ability to capture social commentary through engravings. Through his skilled hand, he highlights the harsh reality faced by those on the front lines – not only battling enemies but also struggling to find sustenance. The setting is North Pas de Calais in France's Aisne region during World War I. This particular postcard serves as a reminder of the dire circumstances endured by soldiers during this tumultuous period in history. As we observe this print, we are transported back to a time when canned food was scarce and hunger plagued armies on both sides. The image evokes empathy for these German soldiers who were caught in a battle not just against their adversaries but also against deprivation. Preserved over time, this historical artifact continues to resonate with audiences today as it sheds light on one aspect of war often overlooked – its impact on basic human needs like food and survival.
