Unappetising
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and humorous cartoon by renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine in 1917 during the first world war. The image captures the stark contrast between the luxurious and enjoyable surroundings of London's Savoy, Alhambra, and Piccadilly Grill, and the grim reality of life in the trenches. In the foreground, we see three soldiers huddled around a makeshift cooking pot, their faces etched with exhaustion and worry. The pot is precariously balanced on a small fire, and the meager contents inside do not look appetizing at all. The soldiers' expressions convey their disappointment and longing for a hot meal, while the background shows the ominous sight of artillery guns, ready to be deployed in the impending offensive. The title of the cartoon, "Unappetising Moments when Savoy, the Alhambra, and the Piccadilly Grill seem very far away," adds to the poignant commentary on the stark contrast between the comforts of civilian life and the harsh realities of war. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this time, and the longing for simple comforts like a hot meal. Captain Bruce Bairnsfather's cartoons were widely popular during the first world war, and "Unappetising" is just one of many that captured the essence of the soldiers' experiences. The image is a poignant and enduring reminder of the human side of war, and the longing for comfort and normalcy in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This historical photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of first world war memorabilia, and a testament to the power of art to capture and preserve the human experience. The image is available for rights-managed use, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of the first world war, military history, or the works of Captain Bruce Bairnsfather.
