EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Journee du Poilu, 1915" captures a significant moment during the First World War. This postcard, created by Theophile Alexandre Steinlen in the early 20th century, depicts a French soldier enjoying a day off from the battlefield. During this time, France faced a shortage of war supplies and established national fundraising days to support their troops. The image showcases patriotism and nationalism as soldiers take respite from their military duties. The black and white lithograph portrays an infantryman in his military uniform, highlighting the sacrifices made by these brave men. It serves as a powerful piece of propaganda that aimed to inspire support for the war effort. This historical artifact not only represents the spirit of France but also symbolizes the collective struggle endured during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It reminds us of the immense sacrifices made by soldiers who fought on behalf of their homeland. As we reflect on this photograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when nations were united against common adversaries. Through its artistic representation, it evokes emotions of gratitude towards those who served and emphasizes our duty to remember their bravery. Overall, this postcard print encapsulates both the hardships faced by soldiers during World War I and the unwavering determination displayed by individuals fighting for their country's freedom.
