EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and poignant print captures a piece of French World War One propaganda that tugs at the heartstrings by exploiting child-appeal to encourage donations. The poster, dating back to 1915, serves as a historical reminder of the political climate in France during this tumultuous time.
In the image, we see a young child holding out his hand with an expression of innocence and vulnerability. This innocent face is juxtaposed against the harsh realities of war, creating a sense of urgency for viewers to contribute towards the war effort.
The use of children in propaganda was not uncommon during WWI, as it evoked emotions and stirred up patriotic sentiments among the public. By featuring a child in this poster, the message becomes more relatable and personal, making it difficult for onlookers to ignore or turn away from.
As we reflect on this piece of history through Mary Evans Picture Library's lens, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during wartime. It serves as a sobering reminder that even in times of conflict and turmoil, humanity must come together to support one another and strive for peace.
