EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating cartoon print takes us back to the 19th century, depicting English soldiers and their families in Wallonia. The color lithograph showcases a scene filled with bustling activity, as soldiers prepare for battle while their wives tend to household chores in the Belgian countryside. The artist, part of the French School, skillfully captures the essence of military life during this era. From the detailed depiction of weaponry and uniforms to the caricatured expressions on each character's face, every element adds depth and humor to this satirical piece. The composition focuses on both soldiers and their families, highlighting how warfare affected not only those directly involved but also their loved ones. Luggage and belongings are scattered around them, symbolizing the nomadic nature of army life during that time. Amidst all this chaos, there is a sense of disgruntlement among some characters. Perhaps it reflects the challenges faced by these peripatetic individuals or serves as social commentary on war itself. As we delve into this historical artwork captured by Leonard de Selva's lens through his photography skills, we are transported back in time. It offers us a glimpse into an important period marked by conflict and travel – where armies marched across borders carrying not just weapons but also hopes and dreams for a better future.
