On This Occasion There Was the Usual Confusion
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stirring Illustration from the Roaring Twenties by Percy Horton Amidst the chaotic aftermath of the First World War, the 1920s roared to life with a sense of renewed hope and determination. Yet, as this evocative illustration by Percy Horton titled "On This Occasion There Was the Usual Confusion" reveals, the post-war era was not without its challenges and uncertainties. Depicting a crowded scene of people jostling and jostling, the line drawing captures the palpable tension and confusion that characterized many aspects of life during the 1920s. The soldiers in uniform, their faces etched with exhaustion and weariness, stand out amidst the sea of civilians, their expressions a testament to the profound impact of the Great War on society. Percy Horton's masterful use of pen and ink brings to life the intricate details of the scene, from the folds of the soldiers' uniforms to the anxious expressions of the civilians. The illustration, published in the Labour Weekly in 1925, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions of the post-war era, where hope and confusion coexisted in equal measure. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the past and a deeper understanding of the historical context that shaped the world we live in today. A true masterpiece of the 1920s, "On This Occasion There Was the Usual Confusion" is a must-have for any history buff or art enthusiast.
