EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen, titled "Military Allocation, 1915" we are transported back to the tumultuous era of the First World War. The image depicts a bustling street scene filled with a diverse crowd of people, reflecting the impact of conscription on families and communities. Amidst the chaos, a group of women can be seen anxiously waiting for their loved ones who have been drafted into the armed forces. Their faces reveal a mix of emotions - worry, pride, and perhaps even resignation. A mother tenderly holds her child close while casting an apprehensive gaze towards the distance. Steinlen's masterful use of lithography brings out intricate details in this poignant portrayal of motherhood and sacrifice during wartime. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical presence but also conveys a deeper sense of emotional turmoil that permeated society at that time. This artwork serves as both a historical document and an artistic testament to the resilience and strength exhibited by women left behind on the home front during times of conflict. It stands as a reminder that war affects not only those directly involved but also reverberates through every aspect of society. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, this print serves as an evocative symbol connecting us to our shared past while prompting contemplation about themes still relevant today: family bonds, patriotism, and societal responsibility in times of crisis.
