EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting pencil drawing by Archibald Ziegler, titled "Hell," is a preparatory study for his larger work, "An Allegory of Social Strife." Created in the late 1920s, this powerful image reflects the post-World War I era, a time marked by mass unemployment, social unrest, and the lingering trauma of the 1926 General Strike in the United Kingdom. Ziegler's "Hell" is not a traditional representation of the underworld but rather a metaphorical depiction of the chaos and despair that gripped society during this period. The drawing showcases a tumultuous scene filled with figures in various stages of distress, their faces contorted in anger, fear, and despair. They are surrounded by flames, symbolizing the destructive fires of social strife. The artist's use of pencil on tracing paper adds to the raw, unfinished quality of the work, emphasizing the sense of instability and uncertainty that defined the era. Ziegler's "Hell" is a poignant reminder of the social and economic turmoil that followed the First World War, a time when the fabric of society seemed to unravel, and the future remained uncertain. Archibald Ziegler's "Hell" is a powerful and evocative work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the complexities of the human condition and the enduring impact of historical events.
