EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cover of 'The Red Laughter', Satirical in Colors" captures a fascinating piece of history from 1918 during the War of 14-18. The image showcases a satirical card game called "Boret the King of Bread", which cleverly uses belligerents and symbols to depict the gastronomy and bread supply during wartime. Illustrated by Charles Leandre, this artwork reflects the artist's wit and creativity. Leandre skillfully portrays Boret Victor, a prominent figure known for his role in government as well as his connection to the bakery industry. Through this caricature, Leandre highlights both political and societal aspects related to food shortages and rationing during war. This print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable insights into French society at that time. It offers a glimpse into how people coped with adversity through humor and satire, using card games as an escape from reality. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that it holds historical significance beyond its artistic value. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by France during World War I (also known as the First World War) and sheds light on how individuals found ways to navigate through difficult times. Overall, this print is an intriguing representation of artistry intertwined with social commentary, making it an invaluable addition to any collection or exhibition focused on early 20th-century history.
