EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Grossier Envahisseur; L'epreuve de chaque jour de la femme Francaise en pays envahi: loger l'intrus sous le toit ou l'epoux est parti pour répondre à l'appel de la patrie" (The Persistent Invader: The Daily Ordeal of the French Woman in Occupied Country), a poignant lithograph by Lucien Jonas, captures the raw emotions and challenges faced by French families during the First World War. Created in 1914 and published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, this powerful image portrays a mother and her children, huddled together in a small, cramped bedroom. The room is filled with the somber tones of black and white, reflecting the stark reality of wartime life. In the foreground, an angry mother glares at an intrusive soldier, who lies asleep on a makeshift bed in the corner. The soldier, clad in military uniform, is a symbol of the German invasion that had disrupted the peaceful lives of the French people. The mother's fury and hatred are palpable, as she shields her children from the invader's presence. The image conveys a sense of violation, as the family's privacy and security have been compromised. The title of the print, "Le Grossier Envahisseur," translates to "The Persistent Invader," emphasizing the ongoing nature of the invasion and the daily struggles faced by the French people. The print is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by families during wartime, as they were forced to make room for the intrusive presence of the armed forces in their homes. Lucien Jonas' masterful use of contrast and composition creates a haunting and evocative image that continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into the human cost of war.
