Brick Work Hole Mice Obvious Rifles Made Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the events of World War 1 with a humorous twist. The cartoon depicted on the wall shows two soldiers peering through a hole in the brickwork, rifles at the ready, as they question "Who made that ole?" The response comes in the form of mice scurrying away, making it all too obvious who is responsible for creating the hole.
The simplicity and wit of this cartoon belie the gravity of the historical context in which it was created. In 1917, during one of the most tumultuous periods in world history, cartoons like these provided much-needed comic relief amidst war and destruction. They served as a way to cope with difficult circumstances and find humor even in dire situations.
As we admire this piece of artistry, we are reminded not only of the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought in WW1 but also of their humanity and ability to find lightness even in dark times. It serves as a testament to resilience and creativity during times of adversity.
Mary Evans Prints Online has preserved this piece for us to reflect upon and appreciate for years to come, offering a glimpse into both the historical significance and artistic talent present during this pivotal moment in history.
