EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War in 1916, love found a way to bloom in the most unexpected of places. In this cartoon from the archives, a pretty young woman, named Lorinne, is seen visiting her beloved soldier, completely unnoticed. Dressed as a fruit seller, she skillfully navigates the military camp, her basket filled with ripe fruits concealing her true identity. The soldier, in his blue uniform, is momentarily stunned as he interacts with the vendor, oblivious to the fact that she is his cherished companion. Lorinne's disguise includes an apron, umbrella, and a headscarf, all part of her meticulously crafted system to manage her wartime visits. This heartwarming illustration serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of the human spirit during times of adversity. The story of Lorinne and her hidden love adds a layer of humanity to the historical narrative of the First World War, making it a cherished piece of history that continues to inspire and captivate audiences even today. The cartoon, titled 'Cartoon, Lorinne, or hidden love,' is a testament to the power of love and the lengths people went to in order to cope with the challenges of wartime. It is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest of times, love can provide a glimmer of hope and happiness.
