EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine in 1916 during the First World War. The image captures two soldiers, both wearing kilts, engaged in a deep conversation while sitting on the parapet of a trench. One soldier, with a determined expression, insists, "You owes me two francs and I owes you one, that makes it right, don't it?" The other soldier, with a puzzled look, replies, "But I thought we agreed to square it up last week?" This timeless cartoon, created by the renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, masterfully captures the essence of the human condition amidst the harsh realities of war. Despite the chaos and uncertainty of the battlefield, these soldiers find solace and camaraderie in their simple, everyday concerns. The conversation about an old debt serves as a reminder of the ordinary lives these soldiers left behind, and the enduring bond of friendship that helps them cope with the challenges of war. Bairnsfather's unique ability to find humor in the most unexpected places made him a beloved figure during the war years. His cartoons, which often featured the characters of "Old Bill" and "The Boche," brought a sense of levity and relief to the soldiers in the trenches and those on the home front. "Chat on Change" is a poignant reminder of the resilience and humor of the human spirit, even in the most trying of circumstances. This print, from the extensive collection of The Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans, offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the human experience. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Bairnsfather's work and the lasting impact it has had on the world of cartooning and satire.
