EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph poster from 1917 showcases the French national emblem, Marianne, in all her heroic glory. Standing tall with a determined expression on her face, Marianne wears the iconic Phrygian cap that symbolizes liberty and revolution. In one hand, she holds a shield adorned with the tricolor flag of France, representing unity and patriotism. In the other hand, she firmly grips a sword as a testament to her unwavering courage. The purpose of this powerful artwork was to promote Hero Land benefit for the troops during World War I at New York City's Grand Central Palace. As war raged across Europe, this poster aimed to rally support for those fighting on the front lines by invoking feelings of admiration and gratitude towards these brave soldiers. With its vertical composition and vintage aesthetic, this photograph print transports us back in time to an era when famous women like Marianne played significant roles on the home front. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used as both propaganda and inspiration during times of conflict. Preserved by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this historical artifact captures not only an important moment in history but also reflects the spirit of resilience that prevailed amidst adversity during World War I.
