EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases the iconic "Journee du Poilu" poster, created in 1915 during World War I. The poster was a powerful tool of French propaganda, designed to evoke feelings of patriotism and courage among its citizens. Depicting a female soldier sitting with her gun at the ready, it symbolizes the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by the French infantry soldiers known as "Poilus". The term "Poilu" referred to these soldiers who fought valiantly on the battlefields of World War I, comparable to their British counterparts known as Tommies. This artwork captures both male and female figures, highlighting that women also played an essential role in supporting their country during wartime. With vibrant colors and intricate details, this print conveys not only anxiety but also determination amidst uncertainty. It serves as a reminder of the intense emotions experienced by those awaiting battle while emphasizing national unity and resilience. As an art media representation from the early 20th century, this print is an invaluable historical artifact that provides insight into how art was employed for propaganda purposes during times of war. It encapsulates both the fearsome weaponry used in warfare and the indomitable spirit displayed by individuals facing adversity.
