EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating vintage poster that encapsulates the emotions and sentiments of love, joy, and reunion during World War I. Created by Adolphe Leon Willette in 1915, this lithograph measures 100x79 cm and now resides in a private collection. The artwork portrays a soldier returning home on leave from the war effort, his face beaming with happiness as he embraces his sweetheart. A loyal dog eagerly joins their heartwarming reunion. The couple's passionate kiss reflects their deep longing for each other amidst the chaos of war. This French propaganda poster was created to commemorate "Journee du Poilu" an event organized by the parliament on December 25th and 26th in 1915. It aimed to boost morale among soldiers and encourage support for the war effort. The vintage design showcases intricate details such as a sewing machine symbolizing domesticity and resilience while highlighting the importance of women's contribution during wartime. The soldier holds a walking stick or cane, signifying both his strength and vulnerability as he navigates through the challenges of battle. Willette's artwork captures not only romantic love but also evokes powerful emotions associated with separation, sacrifice, and hope. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact World War I had on individuals' lives across France. As we admire this timeless piece today, it stands as an enduring testament to human resilience amid adversity—a
