Visions of the Great War - A Satirical Postcard from 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a satirical postcard titled "Visions of the Great War" created by George d'Ostoya-Sochinsky in 1914. The artwork humorously portrays the devastating effects of war on a beautiful little family during World War I. In this thought-provoking illustration, we witness the destructive power of conflict as it obliterates everything in its path. The image depicts God and William II, symbolizing divine intervention and German leadership respectively, overseeing an unsettling scene. The once idyllic family is torn apart by disease, alcoholism, and destruction caused by invasion. The artist's skillful engraving captures the essence of this chaotic period in history. It serves as a powerful reminder that war brings not only physical devastation but also profound emotional turmoil to families caught in its grip. Through his artistry, d'Ostoya-Sochinsky sheds light on the consequences of armed conflicts while subtly critiquing militarism and excessive consumption of alcohol within society. This postcard provides us with a glimpse into the mindset prevalent during that time – one filled with uncertainty and despair. As we reflect upon this poignant image today, it prompts us to contemplate how far we have come since those dark days and reminds us to strive for peace instead of perpetuating violence.
