EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures a powerful piece of propaganda from 1942, during the tumultuous years of World War II. Titled "Join the LVF against the Bolsheviks" this colour lithograph was published in France as part of the Historica Graphica Collection. The artwork, created by Jules Breton (1827-1906), depicts a soldier standing proudly with a shield adorned with symbols representing Vichy France. The image serves as an invitation to join the Legion of French Volunteers against Bolshevism, highlighting their mission to combat the perceived threat posed by Bolshevik forces during this critical period. The use of bold colours and striking imagery aims to inspire patriotism and rally support for this cause. As we delve into history through this print, it is important to note that its significance lies beyond mere aesthetics. It offers us a glimpse into the complex political climate and ideological struggles that defined World War II. This particular poster represents one facet of Vichy France's efforts to mobilize public opinion against communism. While appreciating its artistic merit, let us also remember that historical artifacts like these serve as reminders of our past – both triumphs and mistakes – urging us not only to reflect but also learn from them.
