EDITORS COMMENTS
The front cover of Le Rire Rouge, dated 23 January 1915, showcases a captivating and thought-provoking illustration by Georges Delaw. Titled "Ecrevisses de rempart, soit; mais ne vous y frottez pas" this colour lithograph print captures the essence of trench warfare during World War I. In this striking image, we witness a French soldier standing tall in his post as a guardian of the trenches. The soldier's determined gaze and firm grip on his bayonet-rifle combination reveal his unwavering commitment to protect his comrades at all costs. The artist skillfully portrays the soldier as an impenetrable force against any potential threats that may arise. Delaw's artistic prowess shines through in every detail of this cartoon-like illustration. From the intricate lines defining each element to the vibrant colors used to bring life to the scene, it is clear that he has masterfully captured both the gravity and satirical nature of war. This artwork holds historical significance as it was featured in Le Rire Rouge, a renowned French satirical magazine known for its sharp commentary on society during wartime. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and courage exhibited by soldiers who fought valiantly amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we delve into this powerful image from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, let us reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who stood guard in these treacherous conditions. May their bravery never be forgotten.
