EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled 'The Ticket Collector,' is a striking image from a set of twelve, entitled 'Playing the Game, War Work 1914-1918,' created by renowned English artist Archibald Standish Hartrick in 1918. Hartrick's evocative depiction showcases the transformation of work roles during World War I, as women courageously stepped up to take on responsibilities once held by men who were called to the battlefields of the Western Front. The suffragette movement, advocating for women's rights and suffrage, had gained significant momentum prior to the war. With the onset of conflict, women's contributions to the war effort became increasingly vital. In this image, the ticket collector, a woman in a smart uniform, efficiently checks tickets with a determined expression, symbolizing the resilience and adaptability of women in the face of adversity. Hartrick's lithographs were published in December 1918 by Underground General, a testament to the profound impact women had made on society during the war. Each picture in the series highlights various aspects of women's war work, from munitions production to nursing and transport services. This powerful visual narrative underscores the pivotal role women played in shaping history during the First World War.
