EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative silhouette print, dating back to 1917, captures the diverse roles women played during the First World War. The top row pays tribute to the Women's Land Army, or 'Land Lasses,' who worked tirelessly on farms to ensure food production continued uninterrupted with men at the front. The middle row showcases 'Town Toilers,' who filled the void left by men in various industries, from munitions factories to window cleaning. The bottom row depicts a group of 'Sea Sirens' enjoying a day at the seaside, reminding us that even in the midst of war, moments of leisure and relaxation were essential. These silhouettes offer a romanticized yet accurate representation of the multifaceted contributions women made during the Great War, carrying on the spirit of the nation both at home and on the front lines.
