EDITORS COMMENTS
In the twilight of the Great War, the curtain falls on this poignant and thought-provoking cartoon from 1918, titled 'Cartoon, End of the Show.' The image captures the moment as the woman in an orange devil costume, symbolizing war's destructive nature, begins her exit from the stage. Surrounding her, the orchestra of mythological musicians, including a pan pipe-playing satyr and a double bass-strumming centaur, disperses, their instruments silenced. The red and gold tasseled curtain, adorned with footlights, frames the scene, casting a warm glow over the emptying theater. The woman's expression is one of both relief and resignation, reflecting the collective emotions of a weary nation as the First World War drew to a close. This powerful and evocative cartoon, with its intricate details such as the pan pipe and stringed instrument, serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the longing for peace.
