EDITORS COMMENTS
Grand Soir" en Allemagne, 31 Octobre 1918" is a haunting lithograph depicting the moment of German surrender during World War I. The title translates to "Hours of Anxiety; The Great Evening in Germany, October 31, 1918." The creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but it was published in the German newspaper Illustrirte Zeitung on the day of the announcement. The print shows a large crowd of Germans gathered on a street, listening intently to a speaker delivering the news of their country's impending defeat. The pessimistic expressions on their faces reflect the despair that had gripped the German home front as the war came to an end. The print captures the collective anxiety and defeatism that swept through Germany in those final hours of October 1918. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the profound impact it has on individuals and communities. The speaker in the foreground, with his hand raised and mouth open, seems to symbolize the role of the media in delivering news and shaping public opinion during wartime. The print also underscores the power of visual media to capture and convey the emotional and psychological toll of war. The print was published in the French album L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2, by the publishing house L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. It is a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling and the ability of art to capture and preserve historical moments. The unknown artist's masterful use of contrast and composition creates a powerful and evocative image that continues to resonate with viewers today.
