December 1917: A Soldier's Delight in the Joys of To-Day This humorous illustration, titled "Joys of To-Day," depicts the blissful moment of a soldier on leave during World War I as he sinks into the comfort of a clean, downy bed. The soldier's ecstasy is conveyed brilliantly by the artist, George Studdy, after months of enduring the harsh conditions of the trenches. The mud, the cold, and the constant danger had taken a toll on the soldier's body and mind. But now, as he lies down on the soft bed, he can finally relax and let go of the stresses of war. The illustration is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures that many took for granted before the war. The soldier's expression of pure joy and relief is a testament to the power of comfort and rest. The artist's use of contrast between the soldier's ragged uniform and the pristine bedding highlights the stark difference between the soldier's wartime and peacetime experiences. The illustration was published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) in December 1917, during a time when the war was entering its final stages. The image would have resonated with the readers, who were eagerly awaiting the end of the conflict and the return of their loved ones. The soldier's happiness is a reminder of the hope and optimism that many felt during this period, despite the ongoing hardships of the war. This print is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers during World War I. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and the importance of the simple pleasures in life. The illustration is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the human experience and convey emotions in a way that words cannot.
