EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration by Ricardo Flores, a talented artist from the late 19th to early 20th century. The artwork was created for the cover of Le Cri de Paris, a renowned French publication. Titled "Corvee de pinard" which translates to "Wine Duty" this piece humorously depicts the soldiers' life during World War I. The illustration portrays soldiers in their military uniforms gathered around a canteen rolling soup supply. The focus of the image is on wine, symbolizing both comfort and escape amidst the hardships of war. A soldier wearing a comically oversized wine barrel exclaims, "At the price or they charge it, they might well wear it at home!". This clever remark highlights the exorbitant cost of wine during wartime. Through intricate details and expert engraving techniques, Flores captures daily life in the army with precision and wit. The refectory setting adds authenticity to this scene as soldiers gather together for sustenance and camaraderie. This historical snapshot provides insight into French society during World War I while shedding light on themes such as alcohol consumption, food scarcity, and soldier's experiences. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, humor can be found amidst adversity. Overall, this remarkable illustration by Ricardo Flores offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten – an artistic testament to human resilience in challenging times.
