The War at Home - A Fashionable Discovery,
EDITORS COMMENTS
1917 In this delightfully satirical cartoon from 1917, two elegantly dressed young women, adorned with the latest fashion trends, are seen inspecting a thriving vegetable garden. The tranquil scene is a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of the ongoing First World War, which was raging across Europe at the time. As they bend down to examine the lush greens, the women engage in a light-hearted conversation about the secret to the garden's success. Little do they know, the very substance that gives their vegetables a rich, vibrant color is the same one they use to enhance their beauty spots – nitrate! The cartoon, titled "The War at Home: A Fashionable Discovery," is a clever commentary on the resourcefulness and adaptability of the people during wartime. With supplies and resources limited, the women's discovery of using nitrate as a fertilizer instead of a cosmetic is a testament to their ingenuity and the importance of making the most of what is available. The cartoon is set against the backdrop of a quaint French garden, with a baionnette leaning against a nearby fence. The women's fashionable attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats and long gloves, adds a touch of elegance to the scene. The garden is filled with an array of vegetables, including leeks, cauliflower, and leafy greens, all thriving under the nourishing effects of the nitrate. This charming cartoon, with its clever use of satire and wit, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of people during the First World War and the innovative ways they adapted to the challenges they faced.
