Knowledge Wins, 1914-18 - A Symbol of Triumph and Enlightenment
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Knowledge Wins, 1914-18" by Dan Smith captures the essence of triumph and enlightenment during a tumultuous period in history. The image showcases a soldier adorned in his uniform and helmet, courageously climbing out of the treacherous trenches. However, instead of carrying weapons or ammunition, he holds a book firmly in his hand. The juxtaposition between the harsh realities of war and the power of knowledge is striking. It serves as a powerful reminder that amidst chaos and destruction, education and learning can be an invaluable tool for progress. This piece was created during World War I when propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion. Commissioned by the American Library Association to promote literacy among soldiers on the front lines, this poster became an iconic symbol representing hope and resilience. The soldier's determination to climb out from the depths of despair signifies not only physical strength but also intellectual growth. Displayed proudly at Newberry Library in Chicago, Illinois, this color lithograph continues to inspire generations with its timeless message - that knowledge is indeed a formidable force capable of overcoming even the darkest times. As we reflect upon this artwork today, it serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, education remains our most potent weapon against ignorance and intolerance.
