image: a French family walk along a typically French tree-lined road, presumably rendered homeless by invading German
forces. The mother and father each hold a baby and a bundle of belongings, with their three other young children also carrying possessions.
Two other refugees are visible on the road behind them. Such depictions of the suffering of innocent civilians at the hands of the invading
Germans were common in French popular art during the First World War. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | civilian suffering women / womens work children Western Front Refugees First World War roads German Invasion 1914 | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Steinlen, Théophile Alexandre | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
