EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of First World War farming in 1915. The poster, created by Joseph Ernest Sampson for the Canada Food Board, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of self-sufficiency during times of conflict. In the image, a young boy clad in dungarees stands proudly beside his father, who is diligently tending to their garden. The scene exudes resilience and determination as they work together to ensure that this summer's garden will provide next winter's vegetables. The fence surrounding their plot symbolizes both protection and unity amidst the chaos of war. Rows upon rows of potatoes, onions, beans, peas, and other crops stand tall as a testament to their hard work. This image not only showcases the vital role played by farmers during wartime but also highlights how ordinary citizens were mobilized to contribute to the war effort on the home front. It serves as a poignant piece of propaganda encouraging individuals across Canada to take up gardening and increase food production for themselves and their communities. As we gaze at this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless families during World War I. Their dedication ensured that even in times of turmoil, sustenance could be found within our own backyards. This print is an enduring symbol of hope and resilience in dark times – a timeless reminder that strength can be found through unity and self-sufficiency.
