EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical cartoon from 1919, a man in a rain-soaked Parisian street attempts to hail a taxi, commenting wryly that "it was hard enough trying to stop the Boche for four years," referring to the recent end of World War I, "and now it's just as hard to stop a taxi!" The cabbie, focused intently on the road ahead, seems oblivious to the man's plight. The man's umbrella and rain-soaked coat and hat are evidence of the inclement weather, while advertisements and posters on the wet pavement add to the bustling, chaotic scene. A woman in a fur-trimmed blue coat and hat, also trying to hail a taxi, looks on sympathetically. The cartoon's title, "Cartoon, Trying to stop a taxi," is written in bold, playful letters at the top, adding to the lighthearted, humorous tone. This image offers a glimpse into the daily challenges of postwar life in Paris, and the enduring difficulty of navigating the city's streets and transportation system.
