EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fatalist: 'I'm Sure They'll Hear This Damn Thing Squeaking!'" by an unknown artist, was first published in 1917 during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image depicts a moonlit scene of a desolate battlefield, strewn with the ruins of war. In the foreground, a soldier is shown sitting on a fallen tree trunk, his weary expression etched with the weight of the horrors he has witnessed. In his hand, he holds a squeaky pump, a simple tool that has become a symbol of the futility and absurdity of the war. The cartoon's title, "The Fatalist," suggests a sense of resignation and acceptance of the inevitable. The soldier's expression and posture further emphasize this sentiment, as he seems to have given up hope for a better outcome. The contrast between the small, insignificant pump and the vast, devastating backdrop of the war-torn world underscores the sense of disillusionment and despair that pervaded the era. This poignant cartoon is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the often-unrealistic expectations placed upon soldiers. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the ability to find humor and irony even in the darkest of times. The image is a valuable historical artifact, offering a unique perspective on the events of WW1 and the ways in which people coped with the challenges of that era."
