EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant poster captures the essence of a Benefit Matinee performance at the renowned Sarah Bernhardt Theatre in Paris during World War I. The poster, created by Frip in 1917, aimed to raise funds for soldiers from Alsace-Lorraine who were affected by the war. The colorful lithograph showcases two actors on either side, one dressed in a traditional 19th-century French military uniform and the other donning the distinctive attire of a Zouave soldier. Between them stands an actress who may symbolize Marianne, representing France herself. This powerful imagery evokes patriotism and solidarity with those fighting on behalf of their homeland. Organized by l'Union Amicale d'Alsace-Lorraine, this charity performance was part of a larger effort to provide relief to soldiers from Alsace-Lorraine who had been separated from their families due to the conflict. The theatrical event offered entertainment and respite amidst the chaos of war while also serving as a platform for raising much-needed funds. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to an era when art played an integral role in supporting those affected by war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of great adversity, humanity's capacity for compassion and unity can shine through.
