"New Years 1917"-Leendert Jordaan

Drawing published in the Dutch weekly De Notenkraker on December 22, 1917. Amsterdam artist Jordaan became famous for his political drawings.



"Carnage"-Jean Despujols

Painter Despujols was a soldier in the French army in May of 1917 when he came across a horrible scene along a railway, somewhere in Northern France and made this sketch. There was also a famous photograph taken of the same scene that day.

(In the trenches during a heavy fight)
A watercolor post card by an unknown artist

That's right, post cards from the trenches. This amazingly serialized rendition of front line fighting was actually mailed to a Young girl in Dusseldorf. On the back the soldier wrote he was on a few days leave and so glad to be away from the fighting.
