The sudden collapse of the war left us in a daze. After the years of inhuman strain it was hard to ease off tension to the almost forgotten conditions of peace. I recall that ever to be remembered day, November 11th, 1918-Victory Day. In the early hours before noon I was in London, and my young son was with me. Everywhere was an atmosphere of anxiety, an unusual stillness. Men in little groups of two and three stood here and there, soldiers in larger numbers loitered or walked slowly along the pavements; girls and women waited at the doors of business houses and shops, where inside nobody seemed attending to the few customers. Everyone was waiting; there was an expectancy so great and so stirring that ordinary life had stopped. The last hour seemed endless in its slow passing.

Autorenporträt
Catherine Gasquoine Hartley, also known as C. Gasquoine Hartley or Mrs. Walter Gallican, was a writer and art historian renowned for her expertise in Spanish art. Born in 1867 in Antananarivo, Madagascar, she later became a significant figure in the field of art history, contributing to the understanding of Spanish art in particular. Hartley's intellectual curiosity expanded beyond art, and she wrote on subjects such as polygamy, motherhood, and sex education, reflecting her broad range of interests. Throughout her life, she was an advocate for deeper societal reflections, addressing issues that were often considered taboo at the time. She passed away on June 9, 1928, in Guildford, United Kingdom, leaving behind a legacy of both scholarly work and thought-provoking social commentary. She was the daughter of a notable family, although her parents' names are not widely recorded. Hartley's contributions, especially in the realms of social thought and the history of art, helped broaden perspectives in the early 20th century. Her works continue to be of interest to those exploring the intersections of art history, social science, and progressive movements of the period.
