EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1915 during the height of World War I, captures a group of French children engaged in a game of war in the Rue St Vincent, Montmartre, Paris, near the Sacré-Cœur. The image, reminiscent of a political cartoon, depicts the children playing out the conflict between France and Germany, with some children representing the German enemy. The children, dressed in makeshift uniforms and armed with sticks and other improvised weapons, are seen huddled around a wall, their faces serious and intent. Some children wear pointed helmets or dolls on their heads to represent their enemy counterparts. The scene is a poignant reminder of the impact of war on childhood and the ways in which children processed and made sense of the events unfolding around them. The photograph also serves as a historical document, offering a glimpse into the daily life of Parisians during this tumultuous period. The image, with its raw and unscripted quality, is a powerful reminder of the human capacity for imagination and resilience in the face of adversity.
