This print captures a poignant moment in history during the First World War. The poster, created by Adolphe Willette, pays tribute to soldiers and symbolizes the reunion of a couple on the Day of the Hairy, celebrated on December 25 and 26,1915. This special occasion was organized by Parliament as a gesture of appreciation for the brave men serving their country. The illustration showcases a joyous scene where a soldier and his beloved are finally reunited after being separated due to war. The emotion is palpable as they embrace each other tightly, their faces filled with relief and happiness. The woman's dressmaking skills are highlighted by her elegant attire, while the soldier proudly wears his military uniform complete with a kepi hat. This advertising poster not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also reflects the resilience and hope that prevailed amidst such challenging times. It represents the unwavering support from both government and civilians towards those fighting for their nation's freedom. Adolphe Willette's talent shines through this artwork, capturing both human emotions and historical significance in one frame. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of sacrifice, love, and unity during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.
