EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, issued by the Collecting Committee in Berlin during World War I, appeals for donations of women's hair to be used for the production of felt insulation for military boots. The image of a patriotic woman, with her short bobbed hair tied in a neat bun, gazes intently at the viewer, her expression one of determination and sacrifice. The poster's text, written in both German and French, urges women to "contribute to the war effort" and "give their hair for the soldiers' comfort." The poster, dating from 1914, is a poignant reminder of the ways in which women on the home front contributed to the war effort during this period. With men away fighting, women took on new roles in factories and offices, and also found creative ways to support the troops through donations of goods and resources. The idea of donating hair for insulation was not new, but gained renewed popularity during the war, with similar campaigns taking place in other countries. The poster's design is simple yet effective, using strong colors and bold typography to convey a sense of urgency and importance. The image of the woman, with her short hair becoming a symbol of the times, adds a personal touch to the appeal, making it all the more compelling. This historic poster is a testament to the spirit of sacrifice and solidarity that characterized the early years of World War I, and serves as a reminder of the many ways in which women played a vital role in the war effort.
