EDITORS COMMENTS
September 5, 1914: Amidst the tense anticipation and anxiety of reserve soldiers eager for action, this illustration captures the ironic contrasts of life both at home and at the front lines during the early stages of World War I. In the center, a heated brawl breaks out among soldiers, reflecting their restlessness and eagerness for battle. Surrounding the scene, a series of vignettes highlight the various hardships and shortages being experienced back home. The baseball news now relegated to the tenth page, and the absence of Paris fashions, serve as reminders of the disruptions caused by the war. At the top of the illustration, the iconic boxer Jack Johnson is depicted, symbolizing the spirit of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. A French soldier playing the trumpet "Aux Armes Citoyens" (To Arms, Citizens) adds a sense of urgency and call to action. At the bottom, our intrepid correspondent is shown, locked in a safe labeled "The Daily Howl," amidst the chaos and danger of the battlefield. This poignant image encapsulates the sacrifices and risks being taken by journalists in their pursuit of truth and information, bringing the realities of the war to the world.
