EDITORS COMMENTS
At the home front, illustration from La Baionnette, 2nd September 1915 captures the essence of life during World War I. The color lithograph by Lucien Henri Weiluc depicts a satirical scene filled with smoke and cowardice. In this image, we see a group of individuals lounging in an opulent interior. The focal point is a female figure seated comfortably in an armchair, smoking a cigar and sipping tea from her cup. Surrounding her are men who appear to be shirking their duties and avoiding the perils of war. They are depicted as cowards or 'planques' - those who evade military service. The artist's caricature style adds humor to the scene while also critiquing societal attitudes towards war at that time. The cartoon-like figures emphasize their exaggerated features and expressions, adding depth to the satire. This print offers us a glimpse into the social dynamics of wartime France, where some individuals sought refuge in cafes and lounges instead of actively participating in the conflict. It serves as a reminder that not everyone on the home front was directly affected by the horrors happening on battlefields. Overall, At the home front is both visually striking and thought-provoking, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of World War I history.
