EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Will you Help the Women of France?", transports us back to the tumultuous era of World War One. Created by Edward Penfield, a renowned American artist, this poster serves as a powerful piece of propaganda aimed at rallying support for the war effort. The image depicts a determined woman in traditional feminine attire hitching herself to an agricultural vehicle, ready to plow the fields. The symbolism is striking - it represents not only the resilience and strength of women during wartime but also their crucial role in ensuring food production amidst chaos. Set against the backdrop of a rustic farmhouse and rolling countryside, this artwork speaks volumes about sacrifice and unity. It calls upon viewers from across America to lend their aid to French women who were left shouldering immense responsibilities due to the absence of men fighting on the front lines. As we gaze upon this print today, over a century later, it serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great adversity, humanity can come together for a common cause. It evokes feelings of admiration for those who selflessly worked towards victory during World War One and prompts us to reflect on our own capacity for compassion and assistance in times of need. This historical artifact preserved by Dallas Historical Society allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its profound message that transcends time.
