A Good Son, a Good Soldier, 1910
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking print that encapsulates the complex themes of colonialism and propaganda prevalent in early 20th-century Europe. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this color lithograph serves as both a historical artifact and a powerful visual representation of the era. The image depicts a young soldier dressed in military attire, standing tall with pride and determination. The vibrant colors used in the lithograph evoke a sense of patriotism and heroism associated with serving one's country. This poster was likely part of France's recruitment efforts during its colonization period, specifically targeting Indochina (modern-day Vietnam). The juxtaposition between the title "A Good Son" and "A Good Soldier" suggests that being obedient to one's nation is equated with being dutiful to one's family. It reflects the societal expectations placed on young men at that time – to be loyal sons who willingly sacrifice themselves for their country. Furthermore, this print sheds light on the power dynamics inherent in colonialism. The presence of soldiers from different backgrounds hints at France's diverse army composed not only of European troops but also soldiers from its colonies in Asia. This inclusion may have been intended to convey unity or perhaps serve as propaganda highlighting France's ability to control distant lands. Overall, "A Good Son, A Good Soldier" offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on history through art while raising questions about nationalism, identity, and imperialism.
