EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating back to circa 1918, features an iconic image of Joan of Arc, the legendary medieval heroine who saved France from invasion during the Hundred Years War. The artist, Bert Thomas, skillfully employed this powerful symbol to appeal to the women of Britain during World War I, urging them to buy War Savings Certificates in order to "save your country once again." Thomas, who joined the Artists Rifles in 1914, masterfully combined historical significance with contemporary relevance, as the suffragette movement for women's rights and suffrage was also gaining momentum during this time. The poster's compelling message, delivered through the enduring image of Joan of Arc, served to influence and rally the women of Britain to contribute to the war effort in a tangible way. This poignant piece of historical propaganda, showcasing the intersection of gender, war, and national pride, remains a captivating reminder of a pivotal moment in both British and women's history.
