EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Oxo in the trenches, 1917" takes us back to a significant moment during World War I. The image showcases an advertisement for Oxo, published in The Sphere magazine on December 1st, 1917. It depicts a soldier in uniform holding a steaming cup of Oxo gravy while standing amidst the harsh realities of trench warfare. The soldier's weary expression reveals the hardships he has endured on the battlefield. Yet, even amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war, this simple cup of Oxo provides him with comfort and sustenance. It serves as a reminder that even in times of adversity, small moments of solace can make all the difference. The artist behind this striking litho is Frank Dadd (1851-1929), who skillfully captures both the physical toll and emotional resilience required by soldiers during wartime. This print offers viewers a glimpse into life during one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we reflect upon this poignant image from our past, it reminds us not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought but also highlights how everyday products like Oxo played their part in providing some semblance of normalcy amid extraordinary circumstances.
