EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two peasant women killed by a German aeroplane, World War I, 1916" captures the devastating consequences of aerial warfare during one of history's most tumultuous periods. Created as a colour lithograph by Eugene Damblans in 1916, this image portrays the tragic aftermath of an attack on innocent civilians. The scene depicts two lifeless bodies lying in a field amidst the peaceful French countryside. The overhead German aeroplane serves as a haunting reminder of the destructive power unleashed upon unsuspecting victims during World War I. This illustration was originally featured in Le Petit Journal on January 30th, 1916, highlighting the horrors faced by ordinary people caught in the crossfire. With its vibrant colours and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork not only documents historical events but also conveys powerful messages about war and propaganda. It symbolizes the immense human cost and suffering caused by conflict while emphasizing the vulnerability of peasants and civilians who became unintended casualties. As we reflect upon this poignant image from our past, it serves as a stark reminder that war knows no boundaries or distinctions. It is an evocative testament to both the resilience and fragility of humanity. Through its depiction of tragedy and loss, this print urges us to strive for peace and understanding in our present world while never forgetting those whose lives were tragically cut short during times of strife.
