Pour le Drapeau
image: a colour tinted drypoint etching depicting a dead French soldier draped in the tricolore flag. A beautiful and
partially clothed angelic woman, holding an olive branch, hovers over the dead man. The theme of patriotic heroism runs through a great
deal of French First World War propaganda and popular art. As in this example, this is often coupled with a nude or partially clothed
woman, reinforcing the sense of male heroism and also hinting at an idea of heavenly paradise. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | French Army women / womens work Death Military Personnel Religion flag / banner / standard First World War nudes propaganda | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Kaby | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
