EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration in Le Rire, 28/12/12 - diplomatic hell - War 14-18" transports us back to the early 20th century. Created by French artist Lucien Metivet, this engraving depicts a powerful allegory of the turbulent times during World War I. The image showcases an intricate scene filled with symbolism and mythology. In the foreground, we see a face representing France, burdened by the weight of international relations and conflict. A Turkish figure stands beside her, symbolizing the Ottoman Empire's involvement in the war. The background reveals a chaotic landscape reminiscent of Balkans' turmoil during that period. The presence of Sisyphe alludes to endless struggles faced by nations involved in war. Metivet's illustration captures not only political tensions but also draws upon elements from ancient tales and myths. This amalgamation creates a thought-provoking narrative about humanity's cyclical nature when it comes to warfare. Preserved through time, this engraving serves as a historical artifact reflecting on the complexities of diplomacy and its consequences during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
