EDITORS COMMENTS
This round trench art lighter, crafted during the tumultuous period of World War I (1914-1918), showcases the ingenuity and creativity of soldiers in the face of adversity. The intricately designed lighter, available from Mary Evans Prints Online under rights managed terms, boasts a circular shape with two prominent officer buttons affixed to either side. These buttons, likely sourced from uniforms of high-ranking military personnel, add an authentic military touch to the piece. Trench art emerged as a unique form of expression and coping mechanism for soldiers during the long and arduous trench warfare of WWI. Using discarded materials, such as metal, glass, and bones, soldiers transformed these items into keepsakes, gifts, and functional objects, including lighters. The round shape of this lighter may have been inspired by the traditional design of British military flintlock pistols, a common sight on the Western Front. The historical significance of this trench art lighter extends beyond its aesthetic appeal. It serves as a tangible reminder of the challenges and hardships endured by soldiers during the First World War. The use of officer buttons as decorative elements also highlights the hierarchical nature of the military, reflecting the social structure of the time. This trench art lighter is a testament to the resourcefulness and craftsmanship of soldiers during wartime. Its intricate design and military connections make it a valuable addition to any history or military-themed collection. With its rich history and captivating story, this round trench art lighter is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of WWI or the art of trench craftsmanship.
