EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the First World War era. The image showcases an autograph postcard written by renowned poet Guillaume Apollinaire to his friend Jean Mollet on July 31,1915. With delicate pen and ink strokes on a postcard, Apollinaire pours out his thoughts from the front lines of battle. The photograph captures not only the physical artifact but also the essence of personal connection amidst war. Apollinaire's handwriting reveals a sense of urgency and longing as he expresses his delight upon seeing Mollet's photograph and admiring how well he appears. He acknowledges that Mollet is fortunate to be in a city while he himself resides underground, where monotony is shattered by exploding projectiles. This poignant correspondence serves as a testament to the enduring power of friendship during times of turmoil. It offers us a glimpse into the emotional struggles faced by soldiers during wartime and reminds us of their sacrifices for their countries. As we gaze at this historical relic, it evokes feelings of nostalgia and admiration for those who lived through such challenging times. This autographed postcard becomes more than just an object; it becomes a symbol representing countless untold stories from one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War I.
