EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the early 20th century - an engraving of "The soldier's alphabet" featuring the letter J: Evening Games. Published by E.R. Stop! in Paris circa 1916, this series of 25 postcards was used by soldiers during World War I and into the 1930s.
Measuring at 9.5x14cm, this intimate glimpse into military daily life shows a scene of camaraderie and friendship among comrades. The image depicts soldiers engaging in evening games, perhaps to unwind after a long day on duty.
The details in the engraving are rich with humor and charm, showcasing the bond between these men who found solace in each other's company during challenging times. The setting is a dormitory with simple furnishings like beds and linen, creating a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era.
As we reflect on this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the resilience and spirit of those who served their country with courage and dedication. This postcard not only serves as a reminder of the past but also as a tribute to all those who have sacrificed for freedom and peace.
This unique piece from a private collection is truly a treasure that allows us to connect with our shared human experience across time and generations.
