EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a cartoon from the April Fools Day edition of La Baionette magazine, published on March 29,1917. The artwork humorously depicts the disastrous consequences of the submarine blockade during World War I on a fish bought in a French market. Produced to entertain French soldiers, this satirical magazine aimed to bring some lightheartedness amidst the chaos of war. In this particular cartoon, an elderly woman is inspecting a fish she purchased at the market. However, instead of finding a regular fish inside, she discovers a comical representation of its transformation due to the effects of the submarine blockade. The artist's caricatured style adds an extra layer of amusement and political satire to this piece. The image showcases both humor and creativity as it highlights one aspect of life affected by war – even something as simple as buying fish becomes subject to disruption and distortion. This clever portrayal serves as a reminder that laughter can be found even in challenging times. Preserved in private collection and now available for viewing through Fine Art Finder's Prismatic Pictures collection, this lithograph continues to provide insight into historical events while entertaining viewers with its wit and artistic flair.
