EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "Epiphany 1916," offers a unique and thought-provoking interpretation of a traditional children's song about the Three Kings during the tumultuous backdrop of World War I. In this contemporary version, the Magi hail from Turkey, Bulgaria, and Austria, following the star of Kaiser Wilhelm's shining helmet. The central image presents a striking representation of the Allied forces' strategy for tackling the enemy on the Western Front during the night of the New Year, with French soldiers armed with bayonettes and the promise of a victorious 1916. The lower image showcases the hope and support from the people, as they bring bags of gold and money to Uncle Sam, symbolizing the Cotton King and the United States' significant role in the war effort. The Suez Canal, a major political and strategic point during the conflict, is also depicted in the background. This powerful and evocative cartoon, created in 1916, offers a fascinating glimpse into the wartime customs and traditions that shaped the collective consciousness during the First Great War. The stars in the night sky serve as a reminder of the hopes and dreams for a peaceful resolution to the conflict, even amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the time.
