The original poster by André Devambez, "La protection du réformé Nº2 - Aidez-nous à assister les blessés et malades de la guerre - Réformés sans pension," holds significant historical importance as a representation of the challenges faced during World War I. Crafted during a time of immense turmoil and suffering, the poster aimed to rally support for wounded and sick war veterans who found themselves without adequate assistance or pensions.
Produced amid the chaos of World War I, Devambez's poster served as a poignant call to action, urging viewers to contribute to the aid and care of those who had bravely served their country but were now struggling to make ends meet due to their injuries or illnesses. The poster's emotive imagery and compelling message aimed to evoke empathy and solidarity among the public, encouraging them to provide support to these vulnerable individuals.
Central to the poster's message is the depiction of a wounded soldier, symbolizing the countless men who had sacrificed their health and well-being in service to their nation. Surrounding the soldier are poignant symbols of wartime suffering, including crutches and medical supplies, serving as a stark reminder of the physical and emotional toll of war.
