EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a powerful plea for help during the tumultuous times of World War I. Titled "Will you help the women of France? Save wheat, 1918" this poster by Edward Penfield serves as an advertisement for the United States Food Administration. The image portrays a group of determined French women toiling in the fields, their faces etched with determination and resilience. They are not only fighting against starvation but also striving to feed their loved ones who are bravely serving on the frontlines. The poster's purpose is clear - it appeals to American citizens' sense of patriotism and urges them to support these heroic women in their arduous efforts. With its vibrant colors and striking design, this artwork effectively communicates both urgency and solidarity. It highlights how every individual can contribute towards alleviating hunger and supporting France during these challenging times. The use of agricultural vehicles symbolizes progress, teamwork, and industrialization as essential tools in combating food shortages. This historic photograph serves as a reminder that even from afar, individuals can make a significant impact on global issues through collective action. It encapsulates the spirit of unity between nations as allies in war while emphasizing the crucial role played by women on the home front. As we reflect upon this poignant image from 1918, let us remember that our actions today have far-reaching consequences just like those who answered this call for aid over a century ago.
