EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a heartwarming scene from 1918, during the tumultuous years of World War I. Titled "Union amicale d Alsace Lorraine" this colour litho print by Henri Royer depicts two compassionate women unwrapping dolls and presenting them to a young girl. The original title translates to "Alsace Lorraine Club. French Women! Hurry, so that during 1918, we can give to the poor little girls an Alsatian or Lorraine doll". The image serves as an advertisement for a fund dedicated to providing care and support for impoverished children affected by the war. It exudes both patriotism and compassion as it appeals to French women to contribute towards bringing joy into the lives of these underprivileged girls. In this vintage poster, every detail speaks volumes about the innocence of childhood amidst wartime hardships. The graphic design highlights the importance of charity and solidarity in times of crisis, emphasizing how even small gestures like gifting dolls can make a significant difference in a child's life. As we gaze upon this touching snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the devastating impact of war but also of humanity's capacity for empathy and kindness. This image is not just a historical artifact; it is a testament to our shared responsibility towards those less fortunate and serves as an enduring symbol of hope amid adversity.
