Le Retour au Foyer: societe autorisee par decision Ministerielle
Paris: Lapina, Imp. 1917.
Original poster. Lithograph. 46.25 x 31 inches.
This First World War poster features two young children staring straight ahead with wide eyes. They are artfully rendered in black and white. Behind them is a ruined home. The girl wears a dress and the boy and holds a terrified cat; their expressions convey shock and fear. Published in Paris to promote support the reconstruction of areas recaptured from the Germans, the caption translates as 'Homecoming: Immediate relief in liberated areas'.
Maurice Neumont (1868-1930) was a Parisian artist who produced a number of propaganda posters during the First World War.
This poster is laid on linen and in fair condition. There is some cracking at the creases but it is otherwise a good example of a scarce item.
