World War I Poster - Theatre Event Bill

Dorival, Geo, 1879- · 1918

This World War I poster shows the comedy and tragedy theater masks in front of the American and French flags, behind which are oak and laurel leaves. A sword is between the two masks, with a french helmet balanced on its point. Behind the sword is the YMCA red triangle, while in front it reads "YMCA." This image is at the top of a decorative border of bound laurel. The center is empty, and the bottom reads, "Les Foyers du Soldat," "Union Franco-Americaine." This poster was used to announce theatre events at the canteens in France.
