EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from the First World War era showcases the strong bond between Poland and the United States, as symbolized by the fusion of their flags and the portraits of five prominent figures. At the forefront are Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Casimir Pulaski, Polish military leaders who fought for American independence during the Revolutionary War. Above them, the portraits of George Washington and Woodrow Wilson represent the United States, while Ignacy Paderewski, a Polish pianist and statesman, is depicted below. The motto "United let us fight for freedom and the right" encapsulates the shared values and mutual support between the two nations during this pivotal historical moment. The allegorical female figure, brandishing a sword and holding the stars and stripes, along with the eagle emblem, underscores the patriotic spirit and unwavering commitment to the cause. This poster, created between 1917 and 1918, reflects the powerful alliance between Poland and the United States during the First World War.
