Abstract
The World War I Collection brings together posters, photographs, ephemera and etchings related to the war effort. The bulk of the collection is comprised of posters created in the U.S. between 1914 and 1921, but also includes several posters from Great Britain, Canada and France. These materials range from recruitment calls from the various branches of the military to home front initiatives by the U.S. Food Administration, the National War Garden Commission and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. The ephemera items consist of a range of decals, flags, handbills, pamphlets, postcards, smaller posters and war stamps with patriotic themes similar to the posters. The 12 “living photographs” created by Mole and Thomas feature tens of thousands of soldiers, reservists and other members of the military arranged in such patriotic formations as the Liberty Bell or an American eagle. The 32 glass plate slides in this collection focus on the war effort in France, and the 17 etchings were created by the American painter and print maker Lester George Hornby, who followed French and American forces into the trenches.
Biographical/Historical
World War I is often referred to as the “Great War.” Its European origins with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in 1914 quickly escalated into an international conflict among 32 countries that continued until November 11, 1918 and took the lives of an estimated 16 million combatants and civilians. Mobilization for over 70 million military personnel worldwide was an enormous undertaking that involved considerable cooperation and participation among civilian home fronts. The United States did not join their allies of Great Britain and France until 1917.
A considerable amount of mass media or propaganda was created to inform the public of events and to influence their opinions and participation. In the U.S., President Woodrow Wilson implemented the Committee on Public Information that encompassed numerous governmental divisions as well as the Army and Navy. These agencies produced advertisements, pamphlets, posters and photographs to convey their messages. In addition, private organizations, like the Red Cross and the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) who were active in the war effort created similar materials
