With 2014 marking the one-hundredth anniversary of the commencement
of World War I, "En Guerre "offers a fresh, thought-provoking
exploration of the impact of the Great War as viewed through the
lens of French graphic illustration of the period. Published in
conjunction with an exhibition of these illustrations at the
University of Chicago Library's Special Collections Research
Center, this catalog draws from illustrated books, magazines, and
prints to present a wide range of perspectives on themes essential
to a deeper understanding of the war in France: patriotism,
nationalism, propaganda, and the soldier's experience, as well as
the mobilization of the French national home front as seen through
fashion, music, humor, and children's literature. With a text by
noted historians Neil Harris and Teri J. Edelstein and featuring
more than one hundred reproductions of the vivid and colorful work
of French illustrators, "En Guerre" reaffirms the persuasive role
that art can play in the service of political and military power.
