A Pleasure Wagon in the Crimea
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and historically significant print that takes us back to the Crimean War era. Published by Wild in 1854-55, this vibrant colour lithograph by Eugene Charles Francois Guerard showcases a unique scene during this tumultuous period. In this lively image, we see British and French soldiers enjoying themselves on an unconventional mode of transportation – a cart pulled by two camels. However, what makes this scene truly intriguing is the evident state of intoxication among these troops. The rowdy atmosphere depicted here gives us a glimpse into the camaraderie and escapism sought by these soldiers amidst the arid landscape of Crimea. The artist's attention to detail brings out both humor and chaos as we witness drunkenness taking hold of these male soldiers. Their animated expressions and unsteady postures convey their indulgence in alcoholic beverages, creating an amusing yet thought-provoking tableau. This artwork not only captures a momentary respite from war but also sheds light on the realities faced by those involved in conflicts throughout history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst dire circumstances, humans seek solace through various means. Displayed at the National Army Museum in London, "A Pleasure Wagon in the Crimea" stands as an evocative testament to human resilience and our innate desire for joyous moments even during times of turmoil.
