Created in 1914, the artwork depicts a scene from the past, capturing the essence of an era filled with turmoil and tragedy. The image showcases a newspaper headline announcing the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination triggered the start of World War I. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his skilled hand, as he masterfully captures the intricacies of this historical event. Lepere's use of black chalk adds depth and texture to the composition, creating a sense of somberness that befits such grave news. The contrast between light and dark enhances our perception of this pivotal moment in time.

We can almost imagine ourselves reading those very words for the first time – feeling shockwaves reverberate through society as nations prepared for war. Auguste Louis Lepere's artistic interpretation allows us to reflect on how one event can shape history forever. This print serves as a poignant reminder not only of human conflict but also our capacity for resilience and growth amidst adversity.
