The image is a vintage portrait of a woman with an intense expression, captured using the autochrome color photography process. She wears a dark coat adorned with fur trim and has a hat that falls over her forehead. A green scarf or garment can be seen peeking from beneath the jacket. Her right hand rests on what appears to be a piece of furniture, possibly a chair back, while she is holding something in her left hand, which could potentially be a cigarette holder containing a smoking utensil.
The photograph has an aged look and displays signs of wear such as creases or folds along its edges, giving it a unique vintage charm. It's important to note that the exact identification of Mabel Cramer (if she is indeed depicted in this image) may not always be accurate due to historical inaccuracies in documentation.
The photograph was taken by Arnold Genthe, an American-born photographer known for his work during and after World War I as well as other notable photographic projects.

#Français #French #France #worldwar #warposters #french #color #france #lithographs #gaslightfixtures #naturalgas #photopgraphy #LibraryOfCongress

loc.gov/pictures/item/99613652/

Salon des Armées, réservé aux artistes du front. Au profit des oeuvres de guerre. Jardin des Tuileries [1916]
1 print (poster) : lithograph, color ; 121 x 79 cm. | A soldier holding a small wooden statue of winged victory that he has been carving. In 1916, the Ministry of Beaux-Arts and the Ministry of War promised artists serving in the war, that their work would be shown in official war exhibitions on the homefront. The government sponsored the Salon des Armées to show the work of the mobilized artist and this exhibition realized 60,000 francs. These proceeds supported not only needy artists at home but also the disabled. The striking contrast between the continuing French culture, even from within the trench, and the barbarianism of the Germans, was brought home by these exhibitions. This poster won first prize.

loc.gov/pictures/item/99613639/

The image depicts a vintage French propaganda poster, which is in color and measures 121 x 79 cm. The central figure of the poster is an illustration of a soldier dressed in World War I-era military uniform. He holds up his right hand with fingers extended to display something that appears to be wooden wings or possibly part of a winged victory statue, which has been carved by him as suggested by its rough texture and unfinished appearance.
The background features yellow clouds against a dark blue sky, symbolizing perhaps an idea rising above the battlefield. The soldier is seated on what seems like a cloud, with his legs crossed in a relaxed manner and one arm resting behind him for support. He wears a green tunic, red trousers, brown leather boots, and carries a grey backpack.
The upper part of the poster has text that reads "Salon des Armées" followed by smaller texts providing context about the exhibition reserved for artists who served on front lines during World War I. The name Henri Dangon is credited at the bottom left corner as an artist's signature or attribution, and it mentions Jardin des Tuileries along with some French text indicating profit support of war artworks.
The overall design captures a sense of pride in artistic production amidst wartime conditions, showcasing creativity despite challenging circumstances through official means sponsored by governmental entities.

We're headed for a third .

That means conditions will be ripe for revolution in the . The first two World Wars resulted in revolutions across the world, especially in after .

The next 20 or 30 years are going to be interesting. All that talk about the "end of " will have turned out to be premature.

#Achetez #WorldWarI #nurses #children #play(recreation) #france #tuberculosis #french #color #medicalaspects #lithographs #worldwar #warposters #photopgraphy #LibraryOfCongress

loc.gov/pictures/item/99613735/

The image is a vintage poster from 1917, titled "Achetez le timbre antituberculeux." It depicts an illustration of a nurse in white attire with a red cross on her chest. She stands next to a railing overlooking a scene where children are playing by the water's edge and two men wearing hats appear to be observing them from afar.
The poster is predominantly colored, showcasing green trees, blue sky, and brown ground, which suggest an outdoor setting during daylight hours. The nurse is holding onto the railing with her left hand while resting it on a ledge or wall in front of her right arm. She has dark hair under her white headscarf but no visible facial features.
In the background scene, there are several children engaged in various activities such as swimming and walking along the edge of what appears to be a pond or river. Two men with hats can also be seen standing at some distance from each other behind one of the women who is observing them. The overall atmosphere seems light-hearted and carefree.
The text on the poster reads "Achetez le timbre antituberculeux" which translates to "Buy the tuberculosis stamp." This implies that the purpose of this poster was likely an awareness campaign or fundraising effort for tuberculosis-related causes during World War I.
