Key item features

  • Title: The Frenchwoman In War-Time, 1917
  • Description: Scene depicting French women in war-time. One woman is working in a factory, one is nursing her child, and another woman is hoeing in the field. In the background is an outline of Victory. French women made up over 40 percent of the work force during the war. Over two million were recruited into positions in heavy industry. Films were used for the first time as entertainment at Les Foyers du Soldats for soldiers on leave, and also to keep the homefront abreast of activities of the war in a romantic and humanizing way.
  • Creator: Capon, G., artist
  • Subjects: Mothers & children--1910-1920, Women--Employment--France--1910-1920, World War, 1914-1918--Women--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.
