L'Effort de l'Angleterre
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Effort of England), a poignant and evocative lithograph from 1915, captures the spirit of patriotism and sacrifice during the First World War. The monochrome image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1926, depicts a father and his two sons, all dressed in their respective uniforms, standing together in solidarity. The father, wearing a civilian suit, gazes proudly at his eldest son, who dons the uniform of the British Army, and his younger son, clad in the uniform of the Boy Scouts. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of the war on families and the sense of duty and responsibility that drove men to enlist, as well as the important role of the home front and volunteer organizations like the Boy Scouts in supporting the war effort. The silhouetted figures are arranged against a plain background, drawing attention to their uniforms and the symbols of their commitment to the cause. The print, which is now part of The Print Collector's collection, is a testament to the enduring power of images to capture and convey the emotions and experiences of a historical moment. The use of black and white adds to the sense of timelessness and gravitas, while the silhouetted style lends a sense of simplicity and clarity to the image. Overall, "L'Effort de l'Angleterre" is a poignant and evocative representation of the sacrifices and commitments made by families during the First World War.
