EDITORS COMMENTS
The front cover illustration of "In the ruins, is that all" from Le Rire Rouge captures a poignant scene amidst the aftermath of destruction during the First World War. Created by Jules Abel Faivre in 1915, this color lithograph showcases his artistic prowess and ability to convey powerful emotions through visual storytelling. In this image, we see a city reduced to ruins, with crumbling buildings and debris scattered across the landscape. Amidst this desolation stands an elderly couple seated in their car, seemingly untouched by the devastation around them. The woman's red hair and glasses add a touch of eccentricity to her character, while her contemptuous expression reflects both defiance and resilience. The driver beside them exudes arrogance as he gazes scornfully at those who have suffered loss due to war. His lorgnette symbolizes his detachment from reality and his ignorance towards the hardships faced by others. This artwork serves as a commentary on societal attitudes during times of crisis. It highlights how some individuals choose to ignore or dismiss the suffering caused by war, instead focusing on their own comfort and privilege. Faivre's work reminds us of the human cost behind conflicts like World War I while urging viewers not to turn a blind eye towards those affected by such tragedies. Through its striking imagery and thought-provoking symbolism, "In the ruins, is that all" continues to resonate with audiences today as a reminder of our collective responsibility towards empathy and compassion in times of adversity.
