EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and powerful print titled "Save Your Child from Autocracy and Poverty, Buy War Savings Stamps" captures the essence of a significant era in American history. Created by Herbert Paus in 1918, this colour lithograph was published by the United States Department of the Treasury during World War I. The image features a young child holding a torch, symbolizing hope and enlightenment, while surrounded by images representing poverty and autocracy. The Statue of Liberty stands tall in the background, reminding viewers of America's values of freedom and democracy. The poster serves as propaganda to encourage citizens to purchase war savings stamps as a means to support their country's efforts during the Great War. It appeals directly to parents' instincts to protect their children from both political oppression and economic hardship. Paus skillfully uses bold colors and striking imagery to convey an urgent message that resonates even today. The innocence of the child juxtaposed with the harsh realities depicted in the background creates a sense of urgency for viewers to take action. Now housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, this artwork is not only a historical artifact but also a reminder that our actions can shape our future. It serves as an enduring testament to America's resilience during times of adversity and its commitment towards securing a brighter future for generations to come.
