EDITORS COMMENTS
- Long Live the Line: A Patriotic Postcard from the Early Days of World War I This evocative postcard, dated circa 1914-1915, captures the spirit of unwavering determination and patriotism that defined the early days of the First World War. The image portrays a thin line of French troops, bravely guarding their country from the encroaching German forces. The soldiers, dressed in their bright blue and red uniforms, stand resolute against the backdrop of a muddy and desolate battlefield. The tricolore flag, the symbol of the French Republic, flies proudly above the soldiers, a testament to their unwavering commitment to their country. The caption "Vive La Ligne" - "Long Live the Line" - further emphasizes the importance of this thin line of defense and the courage of the soldiers who stood to protect their homeland. The abandonment of the full light blue attire in favor of the bright blue and red uniform is a reminder of the evolving nature of warfare during this period. The soldiers, armed and ready, embody the spirit of sacrifice and resilience that would come to define the First World War. This postcard, from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on the front lines during the early days of the First World War. It is a powerful symbol of the patriotism and determination that drove the troops to fight for their country, and a testament to the enduring power of visual propaganda in shaping public opinion during times of conflict.
