EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the letter G from "The soldier's alphabet" series of postcards, originally published in Paris circa 1916. The engraving depicts a guard diligently watching over the corridors, symbolizing the vigilance and dedication of soldiers during World War I.
Measuring at 9.5x14cm, this postcard was one of 25 used by soldiers both during the war from 1914-1918 and into the early 1930s. It offers a glimpse into daily military life, with a touch of humor and whimsy evident in the illustration.
The dim lighting in the corridor adds to the mysterious atmosphere captured in this image, highlighting the importance of nighttime patrols and security measures. The lamp casting shadows on the staircase creates an eerie yet intriguing effect that draws viewers into this historical scene.
This piece from a private collection is not just a simple alphabet letter; it represents a snapshot of European history and military culture during a tumultuous period. The attention to detail in depicting even mundane tasks like guarding corridors or maintaining hygiene reflects the discipline and orderliness expected within army ranks.
Overall, this print serves as both an educational tool for understanding past wartime experiences and as a visually striking work of art that captures moments of everyday life within military barracks.
