EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a piece of history from the First World War era in the United States. The image showcases a propaganda poster designed by renowned illustrator Edward Penfield in 1918, encouraging citizens to join the "United States school garden army" as part of their war efforts. The full-length poster features a young girl proudly standing next to a wheelbarrow filled with gardening tools, symbolizing her commitment to contribute towards the war through cultivating gardens. She wears historical clothing and an iconic hat adorned with patriotic symbols, embodying American culture during that time. Penfield's artistic skills shine through this vertical illustration and painting, utilizing Western script for the powerful slogan: "Join United States school garden army. Enlist now". The simplicity of his design allows for easy comprehension while evoking patriotism among viewers. This advertisement served as an effective tool in rallying support for the war effort by promoting self-sufficiency and food production within local communities. It highlights how even children were encouraged to participate actively in supporting their country during times of crisis. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the significant role propaganda played during World War I and its impact on shaping public opinion. This historic artifact serves as a testament to both Edward Penfield's artistic talent and America's collective determination during one of its most challenging periods.
