H Lenoir
image: a nude female figure with golden flowing hair moulded with the head of a French cockerel holds a banner
representing the Western Allies and floats in the sky. She surverys a sun-drenched ploughed field, a French farmer working the land with
two bullocks. The banner incorporates numerous flags, including the national flags of France, Britain, Belgium, Italy, the USA, Russia and
Japan. The image stresses the traditional agrarian way of life that the Western Allies were trying to protect against German
invasion. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | emblems women / womens work Landscape flag / banner / standard agriculture / food First World War nudes | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Lenoir, Henri | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
