Caption: "Daddy, What did you do in the Great War?". British recruitment poster, c1940. Artist: Johnson. This print captures a poignant moment in history during the Second World War. Set in a cozy living room adorned with vintage furniture, an armchair becomes the stage for an innocent yet thought-provoking conversation between a father and his young daughter. The artist skillfully portrays curiosity on the child's face as she holds her toy soldier, while her father sits attentively beside her. The poster serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless men and women during this tumultuous period. It evokes feelings of nostalgia and pride for Britain's wartime efforts, urging viewers to reflect upon their own contributions to society. Created by Johnson, this lithograph showcases vibrant colors that bring life to every detail within the scene - from the girl's playful toys scattered around them to their warm expressions filled with love and admiration. The composition beautifully encapsulates family bonds amidst times of uncertainty and conflict. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this image not only preserves historical significance but also represents timeless themes such as fatherhood, childhood innocence, and national duty. As we observe this snapshot from our past, it prompts us to honor those who fought bravely for freedom while inspiring future generations to cherish peace above all else.
