Verdun gives this 1918 poster its weight. The French fortress town was the site of a battle that ran from February to December 1916, one of the longest and deadliest of the war, and by 1918 the name stood for national sacrifice and endurance. The poster pairs a soldier with women, a common wartime device that linked the front with loyalty and shared effort on the home front. Its title, "Souvenir de Verdun," suggests it was meant to be remembered as well as read.
