EDITORS COMMENTS
Are We Downhearted?", a poignant and evocative World War One postcard created by the talented British artist Ethel Parkinson, offers a powerful depiction of unity and resilience amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Great War. The image features three children, symbolizing the nations of France, Britain, and Belgium, huddled together under the protective shelter of an umbrella as they gaze out into the rainy landscape. The children's expressions convey a sense of determination and unwavering friendship, despite the ominous clouds and raindrops that surround them. This powerful representation of the Entente Cordiale, the diplomatic alliance between France and Britain, serves as a poignant reminder of the unbreakable bond between the Allied nations during a time of great adversity. The use of children as symbols of the nations adds an unexpected yet effective layer of emotional depth to the image. It not only highlights the innocence and vulnerability of those affected by the war but also emphasizes the importance of unity and cooperation in the face of adversity. The postcard's historical significance lies in its ability to capture the spirit of the time and convey the message of hope and solidarity that was so desperately needed during the darkest days of the war. The image of the children under the umbrella has become an enduring symbol of the friendship and alliance between France, Britain, and Belgium, and serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of human connection and resilience. Ethel Parkinson's "Are We Downhearted?" is a beautiful and moving work of art that transcends the boundaries of time and continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its message of hope and unity in the face of adversity.
