EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "World War I 1914-1918: Were YOU there then?" by Harry J. Weston transports us back to the tumultuous era of the Great War. The image features a woman standing proudly in front of a tattered Australian flag, her gaze fixed on the viewer as she poses an important question. It is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during this devastating conflict. The backdrop of the Battle of Fromelles on the Western Front in France adds depth and significance to the scene. In July 1915, Australia suffered a staggering 5,533 casualties during this particular battle alone. The worn-out flag symbolizes both resilience and loss, serving as a poignant representation of national pride amidst unimaginable hardship. Through its vibrant colors and expert lithography technique, this chromolithograph captures not only historical accuracy but also emotional resonance. The woman's presence evokes strength and determination while simultaneously inviting viewers to reflect upon their own connection to World War I. As we observe this artwork from our modern perspective, it prompts us to consider those who lived through such harrowing times and invites us to honor their memory. This poster serves as both a tribute to those who fought bravely during World War I and an invitation for introspection – were you there then?
