Guerre Journee Nationale Orphelins
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant poster from 1914, titled "Journee nationale des orphelins. Guerre 1914. 15. 16" (National Day of Orphans. War 1914. 15. 16), is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The image depicts a group of young orphans, dressed in their Sunday best, gathered around a table, their faces etched with sadness and loss. The table is laden with food and flowers, symbolizing the meager comforts they have been given on this special day. The poster was created during World War I, a time when the devastation of war was felt acutely by civilians, particularly children who had lost their parents. The National Day of Orphans was an initiative to raise awareness and funds for the care of these children, providing them with essentials such as food, clothing, and education. The poster's simple yet powerful design, with its muted colors and somber tone, effectively conveys the message of compassion and support for these young victims of war. The use of the date "15. 16" in the title is significant, as it refers to the 15th of the month, which was traditionally celebrated as the Feast of the Holy Child Jesus, a day dedicated to children. The addition of the war year "1914" underscores the tragic reality that this day had taken on a new meaning in the context of the ongoing conflict. Today, this poster stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by children during times of war and the importance of coming together to support those in need. Its enduring message continues to resonate with us, urging us to remember the human cost of conflict and to work towards creating a world where children are safe and loved.
