EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful Italian patriotic card, dating back to circa 1916, carries a poignant message encouraging Italians to financially aid the war effort with the words "Brothers Save me! Underwrite the effort and save your future!" The image on the card features a distressed woman being dragged away by German soldiers, with her young child in tow. A striking artistic touch adds to the impact of the scene, as the woman's clothing and that of her child are rendered in the colors of the Italian flag. As the First World War raged on, the cost of the war effort weighed heavily on the Italian people. The Italian government and military relied on the contributions of its citizens to continue the fight against the Central Powers. This card, with its evocative imagery and impassioned plea, was likely used to inspire a sense of patriotism and duty among the Italian population. The image of a woman and child being captured by enemy soldiers was a common theme in propaganda during this time, as it tapped into the deep-seated fear and concern for the safety of loved ones. The use of the Italian flag in the card served as a reminder of the national identity and unity of the Italian people, and the importance of coming together to support the war effort. The call to "contribute" and "underwrite the efforts" was a direct appeal to the sense of responsibility and duty that Italians felt towards their country and its future. The card serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and struggles faced by the Italian people during the First World War, and the role that individual contributions played in the larger war effort.
