When will Peace Come?
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Haunting Question During the Turmoil of World War I This evocative cartoon, created in 1916 during the heart of the First World War, captures the deep yearning for peace amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The image portrays a woman, her young daughter in tow, seeking answers from a fortune teller in a dimly lit room. The fortune teller, an older woman with a knowing expression, holds a deck of cards in her hand as she gazes intently into their future. The woman's question, "When will peace come?" hangs heavy in the air, a question that resonated deeply with the millions of people affected by the ongoing conflict. The fortune teller's response, "Why, when the fighting stops!" is a simple yet profound statement that encapsulates the essence of the war's resolution. The scene is reminiscent of the many ways in which people sought solace and answers during times of uncertainty and fear. The paranormal and the supernatural were believed to hold the keys to the future, and fortune tellers, like the one depicted in this cartoon, were often sought out for their predictions and insights. The interior of the room, with its dim light cast by a solitary lamp, creates an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue. The woman's youth, middle-aged, and old age represent the various generations affected by the war, adding to the historical significance of the image. This poignant cartoon serves as a reminder of the human desire for peace and the enduring hope that it will eventually come, no matter how long the fighting may last. It is a powerful reminder of the past and the lessons we can learn from it as we navigate the complexities of our present and future.
