EDITORS COMMENTS
(We Shall Have Them) is a powerful and iconic image from the First World War, showcasing the resilience and determination of the French soldiers, or poilus. This poignant portrait captures the essence of the poster's original intent, which was to boost morale and encourage the French people to continue supporting the war effort. The image features a bust portrait of a poilu, a French soldier, smoking a pipe. The soldier's intense gaze and the smoke curling from his pipe create an aura of quiet strength and defiance. The date, 1916, is inscribed at the bottom of the poster, serving as a reminder of the long and arduous journey that lay ahead for the French army. The poster was created during a critical period in the war, when the Battle of Verdun was raging on and the French forces were facing heavy casualties. The image of the poilu, with his unwavering gaze and steady hand, became a symbol of hope and determination for the French people. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with the soldier's face taking center stage against a plain background. The bold red and black colors add a sense of urgency and intensity, while the slogan "On les aura" (We Shall Have Them) reinforces the message of perseverance and victory. Today, this image remains a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the First World War and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The portrait of the poilu smoking his pipe continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical art and a testament to the enduring power of visual storytelling.
