EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Alfieri, we are transported back to the early 20th century, specifically the winter of 1916. The image showcases Viscount Cranley, son of Lord Onslow, standing proudly next to his creation - an effigy of the Kaiser made entirely out of snow. The scene takes place at Clandon Park, a picturesque location that serves as the backdrop for this powerful display. As Europe was embroiled in World War I during this time period, propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion and rallying support for their respective causes. This snowman effigy serves as a poignant example of such wartime propaganda. Viscount Cranley's determination and creativity shine through as he meticulously molds each detail into the snowy figure. With every pat and sculpting motion, he channels his emotions towards Germany's leader - Kaiser Wilhelm II. This snapshot not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents the spirit of resilience on the home front during times of conflict. It is a testament to how even children were actively involved in supporting their country's cause. Alfieri's monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this historic image, allowing us to reflect upon both its artistic value and historical significance.
