Published during the First World War, this illustration from La Baïonnette sets domestic calm against the language of wartime heroism. A woman reclines reading, surrounded by resting animals, while stylized wings frame the scene beneath the caption “Aux aviateurs, rien d’impossible” (“For aviators, nothing is impossible”).
Rather than celebrating flight or military achievement, the image deflates heroic rhetoric through contrast. Ordinary life remains untroubled, intimate, and unmoved, quietly puncturing inflated claims of progress and glory.
Created by Jacques Nam, the illustration reflects a strain of wartime satire in which irony, not spectacle, becomes a form of resistance.
