Entente Great Britain Great War Partridge Treaty Of Versailles World War Big Four
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ghosts at Versailles" takes us back to the aftermath of World War I, specifically to the historic Treaty of Versailles negotiations in 1919. Created by Partridge and published in Punch magazine on May 7th, 1919, this artwork offers a satirical caricature of the Council of Four, also known as the Big Four. The image portrays Sir Bernard Partridge's artistic brilliance through his use of lithography. The fine details and intricate lines showcase his talent for capturing historical moments with a touch of humor. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time to witness these influential figures shaping history. The Council of Four consisted of representatives from Great Britain, France, Italy, and the United States – collectively known as the Entente or four nations. They were responsible for negotiating peace terms with Germany after its defeat in World War I. This significant event not only marked an end to one war but set the stage for future conflicts. Partridge's work encapsulates both political commentary and graphic artistry within this single frame. It serves as a reminder that even amidst serious discussions about war reparations and territorial adjustments, there is room for satire and wit. Today, this print resides in a private collection but continues to be admired by those interested in history and world events. Its presence reminds us that behind every important moment lies untold stories waiting to be discovered through art.
