An Interesting Note:
Our patrons may well recognise and well remember the following photograph as one of the more poignant images presented here.
I have by chance come across another image of the same poor lad, which you will find directly following the first.
With small effort, I present to you information regarding the artist, Toni Frissell (1907-?). Ms Frissell was primarly known as a fashion photographer, but served as so many did as war correspondant during The Great War Part Two.
She was responsible for several documentary works. The source from which I found the second image claims it to be her best known and most lasting one., as a testament of the human tragedy of war. Upon contrasting the two images, I'm not so certain.
For as surely as the second paints an irrefutable picture of hope destroyed,
The first evokes, in the face of destruction, the irrespressible glow of a child's hope.
Which, is in the end, the hope for us all, is it not?
Sincerely,
V
