EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the essence of patriotism and female empowerment during a crucial moment in history. Created by Haskell Coffin in 1918, this advertisement for War Savings Stamps aimed to inspire women across America to contribute towards their country's participation in the First World War. The image depicts a striking portrait of Joan of Arc, the iconic French heroine who saved her nation from invasion centuries earlier. In this rendition, she symbolizes courage and resilience as she stands proudly before an American flag backdrop. Her gray hair and historical clothing evoke a sense of wisdom and heritage. With a determined gaze directed at the camera, Joan holds up an armor-clad arm while clutching War Savings Stamps – symbolic tokens that would help fund the war effort. The slogan "Women of America, save your country" serves as both a call to action and an acknowledgment of women's vital role in safeguarding their nation. This illustration embodies not only historical significance but also propaganda artistry prevalent during that era. It reflects American culture through its use of Western script and patriotic imagery. Haskell Coffin skillfully captures the spirit of unity and sacrifice with this vertical poster. Its message transcends time, reminding us today that collective efforts can shape history when individuals come together for a common cause.
