EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a powerful piece of French World War One propaganda, based on the iconic painting 'The Gleaners' by artist Millet. The original artwork depicted three peasant women collecting leftover crops from a field, symbolizing hard work and perseverance in the face of adversity.
In this wartime adaptation, the image takes on new meaning as it is used to promote agricultural efforts and support for the war. The women in the postcard are now seen as patriotic figures, working diligently to contribute to the war effort on the home front.
The use of such a well-known and revered painting like 'The Gleaners' adds depth and emotion to this propaganda piece. It not only appeals to people's sense of duty and national pride but also evokes a connection to France's rich artistic heritage.
As soldiers fought bravely on the front lines during World War One, images like these served as reminders of the sacrifices being made back at home. They inspired unity and strength among civilians, encouraging them to do their part in supporting their country during this tumultuous time.
Overall, this print serves as a poignant reminder of how art can be used as a tool for propaganda and motivation during times of conflict.
