EDITORS COMMENTS
In the heart of the bustling commercial district, a draper sits in his office, surrounded by rolls of material piled high on his desk and adorning the walls in the form of striped wallpaper. The year is 1916, and the world is embroiled in the First Great War. As a patriotic citizen, the draper wants to do his part to support his country. But as he looks at the piles of fabric before him, he is faced with a difficult decision. Should he dye his stock in the grey-green hue of German uniforms or the sky blue of French uniforms? The economic impact of the war is felt deeply in the commerce and trade sectors. Businesses, including drapery shops, are struggling to keep up with the demands of the war effort. The draper, like many others, is wondering how he can best benefit from the situation while remaining true to his patriotic values. He leans back in his chair, a thoughtful expression on his face, as he contemplates the potential financial gains of each choice. The cartoon, titled 'Cartoon, In Trouble,' captures the uncertainty and anxiety felt by business owners during wartime. The image of a man in a quiet, peaceful office setting, surrounded by the chaos of war, highlights the complexities of commerce and finance during a time of conflict. The decision the draper makes will not only affect his business but also the outcome of the war. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the intricate relationship between economics and history, and the difficult choices that must be made during times of crisis.
