EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures a moment in time during the tumultuous years of World War I in France. In the rural village of Saint Roch, Indre-et-Loire, a farmer is depicted killing rabbits for food amidst the backdrop of war and hardship. The image conveys a sense of desperation and necessity as resources were scarce during this period.
The young girl standing nearby appears to be observing the scene with a mixture of curiosity and perhaps sadness at the loss of these animals. The woman wearing an apron adds to the authenticity of this candid snapshot, highlighting the everyday struggles faced by peasants in wartime Europe.
The wooden crate filled with rabbits serves as a stark reminder of how precious food was during this era, especially in rural communities where agriculture was essential for survival. This photograph not only documents a specific moment in history but also sheds light on the harsh realities faced by civilians caught up in global conflict.
Through the lens of Lux-in-Fine, we are given a glimpse into life during World War I, where even something as simple as hunting for food became an act laden with significance and symbolism.
