EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wilhelm II in front of Arras, the Barbarian considering his work" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, supplement illustre, dated 22nd November 1914, showcases Wilhelm II, the German Emperor and King of Prussia. Dressed in his military uniform with a spiked helmet atop his head, he stands before the devastated town of Arras. The image captures the aftermath of intense bombing during World War I. The ruins and remains of buildings serve as a haunting backdrop to this powerful scene. As Wilhelm II gazes upon the destruction he has caused, one cannot help but wonder about the weight on his conscience. The artist's use of color lithography brings life to this historical snapshot. The vibrant hues emphasize both the tragedy and chaos that war leaves behind. Amongst the rubble lies fallen soldiers - a poignant reminder of lives lost in battle. This photograph not only documents an important event but also serves as a symbol for the devastating consequences brought about by war. It is an evocative portrayal that invites viewers to reflect on humanity's capacity for destruction and its impact on innocent lives. Displayed prominently within this private collection, this artwork continues to captivate audiences with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
