Miss Peace of the Hague - Ach! I blow in so sweet and it comes out so awful!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- a poignant caption for this thought-provoking illustration from 1914. The image depicts the Angel of Peace, a serene figure in white, seated on a rocky ledge and playing a large French horn. A gentle dove rests at her feet, symbolizing the pure intentions of the Angel. However, the tranquility is shattered as discordant scenes emerge from the horn, casting a dark shadow over the night sky. Among these chaotic images are Marianne, the symbol of France, toppling the French Cabinet; Turkey and Greece, represented as Jack-in-the-boxes, shooting at each other; King George V and the Lords dealing with a firecracker labeled "Ulster and the Home Rule Bill"; a man wielding a large stick labeled "Interstate Commerce" poised to strike a menacingly snake-like railroad train; and Huerta and Villa engaged in fierce combat atop a pile of dead bodies. This powerful illustration, dated July 18, 1914, reflects the turmoil and instability that gripped Europe and the world at the onset of World War I. The Angel of Peace's attempt to bring harmony and peace through her music is met with chaos and discord, highlighting the futility of war and the devastating consequences it brings. The illustration serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of peace and the destructive power of conflict.
