EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a powerful poster from 1915, titled "Save Serbia Our Ally" created by the renowned artist Theophile Alexandre Steinlen. The lithograph depicts a soldier standing tall amidst the chaos of war, serving as a poignant symbol of Serbian resilience and bravery during World War I. The poster was commissioned by the Serbian Relief Committee of America in response to the invasion of Serbia by German, Austrian, and Bulgarian forces in October 1915. As Belgrade fell on 9th October, around 140,000 Serbian soldiers were forced to retreat towards Albania. However, their plight did not go unnoticed. In December that year, Allied navies came to their rescue and safely transported these courageous Serb soldiers to Corfu. This act of solidarity is beautifully captured in this image - a testament to the unwavering support provided by allies during times of crisis. Steinlen's artwork served as an effective propaganda tool at the time; it aimed to raise awareness about Serbia's struggle for survival and garner support for their cause worldwide. Today, this historic photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and honors those who fought valiantly for their country. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece continues to inspire reflection on the impact of war and highlights humanity's capacity for compassion even amidst turmoil.
