EDITORS COMMENTS
In the aftermath of the First World War, the long-awaited return of peace brought about a wave of relief and excitement among civilians, who had endured years of strict food control, shortages, and rationing. This delightful cartoon by George Studdy, titled "Things We Vow We Will Do When Peace Breaks Out," captures the spirit of carefree indulgence that emerged as people embraced the simple pleasures once again. The image shows a well-dressed gentleman, seated in a comfortable armchair, with a contented expression on his face. He holds a box of matches in one hand and a lit cigarette in the other, savoring the moment as he contemplates the various things he will do now that the war is over. In the foreground, a pile of sugar lumps sits on the table, a symbol of the sweet treats that had been scarce during wartime. The cartoon's humorous touch lies in the gentleman's extravagant behavior, as he seems to be wasting matches and sugar at an alarming rate. The careless disposal of these precious resources is a stark contrast to the wartime savings and careful rationing that had become second nature to the population. Studdy's cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the contrasting experiences of war and peace, and the human desire to enjoy life to the fullest after enduring hardships. The image offers a lighthearted perspective on the aftermath of the First World War, and its enduring appeal continues to resonate with audiences today.
