EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Drawing Lots for Conscription" takes us back in time to a rural village where the fate of young men hangs in the balance. Created by Hippolyte Lecomte and now part of a private collection, this print captures a significant moment in history. The scene depicts anxious mothers and concerned villagers gathered around as their sons participate in the drawing lots process for conscription into the army. The atmosphere is filled with tension and worry, as each family hopes that their child will not be chosen. The soldiers overseeing the enrolment measure out their fates with stern expressions on their faces. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, showcasing the emotions etched on every face. Children can be seen standing alongside their parents, unaware of what lies ahead but sensing the gravity of the situation. Through this artwork, we are reminded of how war has always affected communities at large. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and duty during times when enlisting was compulsory for young men. Lecomte's masterful engraving allows us to reflect upon our own lives and appreciate the freedoms we enjoy today. This print stands as both an artistic achievement and a powerful testament to human resilience amidst uncertain times.
