EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""Gosh! I wonder what you would all have found to talk about if there hadn't been any war"" captures a poignant moment during the early twentieth century. Created by Pont (Graham Laidler), this lithograph is part of a collection of wartime drawings called The British Carry On. In this thought-provoking image, we see a group of people engaged in conversation amidst the backdrop of war. The artist's intention becomes clear through the caption: "Gosh! I wonder what you would all have found to talk about if there hadn't been any war". This statement invites viewers to reflect on how conflict shapes our conversations and interactions. The illustration portrays an atmosphere where discussions are dominated by the ongoing war. It raises questions about what topics might have filled these individuals' conversations had peace prevailed instead. Perhaps they would discuss art, literature, or simply enjoy small talk unrelated to the horrors of battle. This artwork serves as a reminder that wars not only claim lives but also impact everyday life and communication. It prompts us to consider how conflicts shape society and divert attention from other aspects of human existence. Through its powerful message and skillful execution, this lithograph offers viewers an opportunity for introspection while appreciating Pont's artistic talent in capturing such profound emotions within his work.
