EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Poster for 'La journee du poilu - 25 et 26 decembre 1915'", transports us back to the tumultuous times of World War I. Created by the French School in 1915, this artwork captures the essence of patriotism and familial love during a time of great sacrifice. The central image depicts a soldier opening a box received from his family, symbolizing the connection between soldiers on leave and their loved ones at home. The quote from Leon Gambetta, "With you and by you we swear to save France" adds an emotional depth to the scene, emphasizing the determination and loyalty of these brave men fighting for their homeland. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to every detail: from the soldier's military uniform to the carefully wrapped package he holds in his hands. The artist skillfully conveys both pride and vulnerability through subtle brushstrokes and shading techniques. This poster served as propaganda during World War I, aiming to inspire support for the troops while also promoting nationalism among French citizens. It stands as a powerful reminder of those who fought valiantly during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Now part of a private collection, this piece continues to resonate with viewers today. Its historical significance combined with its artistic beauty makes it an invaluable representation of courage and sacrifice during wartime.
