EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a powerful and symbolic image from the Foire France-Americaine de Saint-Sulpice, held in Paris in 1917 during World War I. The title, "Le Secours de Guerre" (War Aid), is prominently displayed at the bottom of the poster. Above the iconic Saint Sulpice church, four allegorical figures gracefully soar. The central figure is Lady Justice, holding a balance scale in one hand and a sword in the other, symbolizing the balance between fairness and force. To her left, Liberty, represented by a woman wearing a Phrygian cap and holding the American flag, stands proudly, embodying freedom and the ideals of the United States. To the right, Demeter, the Greek goddess of harvest and fertility, is shown with an ear of wheat in her hand, representing the nourishment and sustenance needed for the war effort. Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and warfare, is depicted with an olive branch and a helmet, symbolizing both the intellectual and military aspects of the conflict. The collaboration of these powerful figures above the historic Saint Sulpice church signifies the unity and shared commitment of France and America during this critical time in history. The poster serves as a poignant reminder of the alliance between these two nations and their shared values of justice, liberty, and the importance of working together to overcome adversity.
