EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "It Is My Wish" captures a powerful American cartoon by D. R. Fitzpatrick, created in 1940 during the tumultuous times of World War II. The cartoon depicts Italian dictator Benito Mussolini's declaration of war against France on June 10th, 1940. In this thought-provoking image, we see Mussolini standing confidently on a balcony overlooking a cityscape engulfed in flames and smoke. His face is stern and determined as he watches his army marching towards warfare. The satire within the cartoon is evident through the exaggerated depiction of Mussolini's ambition and aggression. This artwork serves as a commentary on fascism and dictatorship, highlighting the destructive consequences that arise from such ideologies. It symbolizes Italy's alignment with Germany under the Axis powers during this period of history. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and devastation caused by Mussolini's decision to declare war against France, emphasizing its impact not only on Italy but also on Europe as a whole. Through bold strokes and vivid imagery, Fitzpatrick effectively conveys the gravity of political decisions made during wartime. "It Is My Wish" stands as an important historical artifact that reminds us of the dangers posed by dictatorial regimes and their potential to ignite global conflicts.
