EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image from Switzerland, depicted on an official Swiss Red Cross card in 1917, shows a mother shielding her children during the chaos of World War I. The symbolism is striking as the mother represents protection and safety amidst the turmoil of wartime. The reverse side of the card features a portrait of Henri Dunant, the founder of the Red Cross, emphasizing the organization's mission to provide aid and support to those affected by conflict. The artist behind this poignant portrayal is Eugène Burnand, known for his emotive and realistic depictions of human experiences. Through his skilled hand, he captures not only the physical act of shielding but also conveys a sense of maternal love and strength in the face of adversity. As we reflect on this historical artifact over a century later, it serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of war on families and communities. It also highlights the importance of organizations like the Red Cross in providing assistance to those in need during times of crisis. Holt's Battlefields Collection has preserved this piece as part of their archive, allowing us to connect with our past and honor those who have shown courage and compassion in times of great hardship.
