Key item features

  • Title: L'infanterie Francaise Dans La Bataille, 1915
  • Description: A foot soldier holding a rifle. In the background is a partial map of France. The map shows the Hindenburg Line in red ink. The poilu carried everything he needed on his back. This would weigh up to 60 pounds. He entered the war with a soft military cap and a uniform with shiny buttons. It did not take long to realize that the enemy spotted the shiny buttons and found him an easy mark. The shrapnel from artillery fire or pieces from a thrown hand-grenade penetrated his soft military cap. Acid was found to dull the shiny military uniform buttons and a steel helmet quickly replaced the once soft military cap.
  • Creator: Delaspre, H., artist
  • Subjects: World War, 1914-1918--Military personnel--French
  • Collection: Posters: World War I Posters. During World War I, the impact of the poster as a means of communication was greater than at any other time during history. The ability of posters to inspire, inform, and persuade combined with vibrant design trends in many of the participating countries to produce thousands of interesting visual works. Most relate directly to the war, but some German posters date from the post-war period and illustrate events such as the rise of Bolshevism and Communism, the 1919 General Assembly election and various plebiscites. The majority of the posters were printed in the United States. Posters from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Russia are included as well. The posters range in style from anonymous broadsides (predominantly text) to graphically vibrant works by well-known designers.
