EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Lift Girl," is a poignant representation of the significant role women played during World War I as men were called to the battlefields of the Western Front. Created by renowned artist Archibald Standish Hartrick in 1918, this image is part of a set of twelve lithographs published in a portfolio entitled "Playing the Game, War Work 1914-1918," issued by Underground General. The collection showcases the transition from male-dominated industries to women's workplaces, symbolizing the empowerment and resilience of women during this pivotal period in history. The suffragette movement, advocating for women's rights and suffrage, had been gaining momentum before the war. With men leaving for the front lines, women seized the opportunity to prove their capabilities and contribute to the war effort in various ways. "Lift Girl" encapsulates this spirit of determination and adaptability, as the woman in the image confidently operates a hoist, replacing the men who once held these roles. Hartrick's masterful use of color and detail brings the scene to life, capturing the essence of the era. His artistic vision highlights the transformative power of women's contributions during World War I, making this lithograph an essential piece of historical art and a testament to the indomitable spirit of women.
