EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Holt's Battlefields Collection showcases a piece of British Home propaganda from 1917 during World War I. The image features a young girl dressed in a sailor's uniform, complete with a hat adorned with the words "Iron Duke." On the reverse side of the photograph is a written message detailing the recipient's attendance at various theatre performances including ZigZag, Chu Chin Chow, and Canadian War Pictures.
The significance of this propaganda lies in its ability to boost morale and patriotism among civilians during wartime. By highlighting cultural events such as theatre productions, the message aims to distract and uplift individuals amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war.
The artist behind this thought-provoking piece is Vivian Mansell, known for her poignant depictions of life during wartime. Through her work, Mansell captures both the innocence of youth represented by the young girl in sailor attire and the harsh realities of conflict symbolized by references to military figures like Iron Duke.
Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of how art was used as a tool for propaganda during one of history's most tumultuous periods. It stands as a testament to resilience and creativity in times of adversity.
