EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster from the National Lottery of France during World War II calls on citizens to participate in the 10 November draw to support hospitals. Dated 1941, the poster features a powerful image of an ambulance driving through a war-torn landscape, its headlights cutting through the darkness as it delivers much-needed medical aid to those in need. The caption above the image reads "Aidez les Hôpitaux" or "Support the Hospitals," encouraging the public to buy lottery tickets as a means of contributing to the vital health services during this challenging time. The poster, created during the 1940s, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and community spirit that emerged during wartime. The use of the lottery as a fundraising tool demonstrates the innovative ways in which people came together to support essential services in the face of adversity. The poster, which measures approximately 10 x 15 inches (25.4 x 38.1 cm), is a rare and significant piece of historical ephemera. It is attributed to the French artist, Besniard, and is in excellent condition, with vibrant colors and crisp lines. This poster is not only a beautiful and evocative piece of art but also a testament to the power of community and the importance of supporting essential services during times of crisis.
