The title "Back home" points to the theme that gives this 1919 picture its meaning: the return of soldiers to civilian life after the Armistice of November 1918. For families in America and across Europe, that year brought long-awaited reunions, along with the adjustments that followed four years of war, as troops came home in waves and households worked out how to fit a changed man back into daily routines. Images from this period often hold that mix of relief and uncertainty, and the domestic details in them are worth a close look.
