EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures a haunting scene from the early days of World War I, as German troops commandeer much-needed bread in the Place du Marche, Liege, Belgium. The city had been occupied by German forces in August 1914, and here we see them using dogs to transport supplies through the streets.
The image is a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war - where basic necessities like food become scarce and are forcibly taken by invading armies. The desperation and struggle of the Belgian people during this time is palpable in the faces of those watching helplessly as their bread is taken away.
The use of dogs for transportation adds another layer to this already poignant scene, highlighting the lengths to which both soldiers and civilians were forced to go in order to survive during this tumultuous period.
As we reflect on this historical moment captured in print, let us remember the sacrifices made by all those who lived through World War I and strive towards a future where such scenes are never repeated.
