EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful poster, created in 1918, encapsulates the deep-rooted appreciation and connection between the United States and France that stretches back over a century. The image features an American soldier standing next to two children, paying respects at the grave of a fallen French soldier. The inscription on the poster reads, "1778-1783: America Owes France the Most Unalterable Gratitude." During the American Revolution, France played a crucial role in supporting the American colonies' fight for independence from Great Britain. France provided military aid, diplomatic recognition, and financial assistance, which proved instrumental in securing the victory for the American forces. The quote "Your children shall be as our children" was reportedly spoken by French finance minister, Jacques Necker, in 1778, expressing the French people's commitment to the American cause. The poster's creation in 1918, during World War I, highlights the enduring bond between the two nations. The American soldier's presence at the French grave symbolizes the ongoing gratitude and respect for the sacrifices made by the French people during the American Revolution. The poster also references the American Ouvroir Funds, which were a series of relief funds established to provide assistance to French children who were affected by the war. This poster serves as a poignant reminder of the historical connection and mutual support between the United States and France.
