EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Maurice Toussaint poster from 1938, serving as an advertisement for colonial recruitment during World War II in France. The poster features a striking composition that instantly grabs attention. In the foreground, a rowboat filled with soldiers dressed in military uniforms can be seen rowing towards the viewer, their determined expressions reflecting their commitment to serve their country. The artist skillfully captures the essence of colonialism through various elements within the artwork. A towering palm tree symbolizes exotic locations and adventure, while a pier signifies transportation and departure to distant lands. The soldiers' shirtless appearance highlights their physical strength and resilience. Maurice Toussaint's artistic prowess is evident in this illustration and painting masterpiece. Through his use of Western script, he effectively communicates the message "Engagez-vous Rengagez-vous dans les Troupes Coloniales" (Enlist or Re-enlist in Colonial Troops), urging individuals to join or continue serving in these forces. This historic photograph not only offers insight into French history during World War II but also serves as a testament to the power of art and craft in shaping public opinion. It reminds us of how media was utilized to recruit soldiers for important causes during times of conflict
