EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating French World War I poster, captured in a stunning colour lithograph by Georges Bertin Scott, serves as a powerful reminder of the patriotic fervor that swept through France during this tumultuous period. The caption reads: "Pour le Drapeau! Pour la Victoire! Souscrivez a l Emprunt national. Les souscriptions sont recues a Paris et en province. Banque Nationale de Credit". Translated to English, it means "For the Flag! For Victory! Subscribe to the National Loan. Subscriptions are received in Paris and throughout the provinces. National Credit Bank". The poster's central message encourages citizens to purchase war bonds, emphasizing their crucial role in supporting the nation's efforts on the battlefield. It showcases an array of symbolic imagery, including soldiers marching with determination, brandishing swords and drums echoing with resolute beats. The presence of Marianne, France's national personification representing liberty and reason, further reinforces the call for unity and sacrifice for one's country. The tricolor flag proudly waves above her head as she stands amidst a backdrop resembling a battlefield. This artwork not only served as propaganda but also evoked strong emotions of patriotism among viewers at that time. Today, it stands as both an important historical artifact from World War I and a testament to the power of art in mobilizing societies during times of conflict. Photographed by Derek Bayes with great attention to detail and color accuracy, this print preserves every nuance of Scott's original work while allowing us to appreciate its significance over 100 years later.
