Joins Marianne Post Card Postcards Sentimental Stars Stripes Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant World War I postcard, dated 1918, captures the sentimental moment when the United States officially joined the war effort and expressed its sympathies towards the people of France. The image on the postcard features Marianne, the symbol of France, holding a laurel wreath adorned with the stars and stripes of the American flag. The American flag is unfurled behind her, a clear indication of the newfound alliance between the two nations. The historical significance of this moment is profound. Prior to this, the United States had maintained a neutral stance in the conflict, but the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915 and the growing unrest in Europe eventually led to America's entry into the war. This postcard serves as a visual representation of the emotional connection between the American people and their European counterparts, as they united in the face of a common enemy. The postcard's design is simple yet powerful, with a muted color palette that adds to its sentimental appeal. The intricate detailing on Marianne's face and the delicate folds of the American flag convey a sense of dignity and resolve. The postcard's inscription, "USA Joins," written in bold, capitalized letters, adds a sense of urgency and importance to the scene. This postcard is a poignant reminder of the historical events that shaped the world during World War I, and the emotional connections that bound people together in times of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring power of visual communication and the ability of art to capture the essence of history.
