EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant poster, titled "Orphelinat des Armees" and dated 1915, depicts a heart-wrenching scene of mothers and children gathered in a cemetery, surrounded by lilies in full bloom. The title translates to "Army Orphanage" in English, and this powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. During World War I, the number of orphaned children grew exponentially as the conflict claimed the lives of countless parents. In response, various organizations and charities, including the French Red Cross, worked tirelessly to provide care and support for these children. The image on this poster was likely used to raise awareness and funds for such initiatives. The mothers in the poster are shown with somber expressions, their faces etched with grief and sorrow. Their children, clinging to them tightly, appear innocent and vulnerable, their small bodies dwarfed by the vast expanse of the cemetery behind them. The lilies, a symbol of purity and rebirth, bloom amidst the tombstones, adding a touch of beauty and hope to the otherwise bleak scene. This poster is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during times of war and the importance of coming together to support those affected by conflict. It is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring bond between mothers and their children.
