Bearers of Evil Tidings
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a lithographic print by Bernard Partridge, depicting a satirical cartoon from the early 20th century. This artwork was featured in "The Illustrated War Record of the Most Notable Episodes of the Great European War" published in London around 1917. In this thought-provoking illustration, Partridge captures the essence of war with his sharp wit and artistic skill. The image portrays an army unit delivering distressing news to their leaders, symbolizing the burden carried by those who deliver bad tidings during times of conflict. The soldiers are shown wearing helmets, representing their role as combat troops in World War I. Among them are both male and female soldiers from different branches of the military, including navy personnel. This inclusion highlights the diverse contributions made by individuals across various services during this global conflict. Atop a map of Europe, we see caricatures representing emperors and czars alongside an empress or tsarina. These figures represent political leaders whose decisions have led to widespread devastation and suffering on both sides. Partridge's satirical drawing serves as a reminder that war affects not only those directly involved but also innocent civilians caught in its grip. It offers commentary on power dynamics and political responsibility during times of crisis. This historical artwork provides valuable insight into one aspect of World War I while showcasing Partridge's talent for combining humor with social critique. As part of private collection today, it continues to serve as a poignant reminder of our shared history and humanity's enduring struggle for peace amidst chaos.
