EDITORS COMMENTS
Reconstruction in Matrimony" is a humorous and insightful cartoon by British satirist, Will Heath-Robinson, depicting the state's encouragement of marriage for returned soldiers following World War I. The illustration, dated February 5, 1919, was published in the Illustrated London News (ILN) and is now part of the esteemed collection at Mary Evans Picture Library. The cartoon shows a bustling marketplace scene, where soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are being matched with potential brides by a group of women, who act as matchmakers. The state, represented by a figure in a top hat and tails, stands at the center, overseeing the proceedings with a satisfied expression. The scene is filled with humor and chaos, as soldiers are led to various brides based on their physical attributes, with one soldier being matched with a bride who resembles a cow, and another with a bride who has a large pig as her companion. The cartoon reflects the societal pressure to marry and start families following the war, as well as the challenges and uncertainties faced by soldiers in finding suitable partners. The use of satire and humor adds a lighthearted touch to a serious issue, making it a classic piece of historical art that continues to resonate with audiences today. This print, courtesy of the Estate of Mrs. J.C.Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/ILN/Mary Evans, is a testament to the rich history of cartoon art and its ability to capture the zeitgeist of a particular era. It provides a unique perspective on the social and cultural issues of the time and is a must-have for any history or art enthusiast's collection.
