Ragged Paris children at play dominate this 1917 color lithograph, signed by Francisque Poulbot, whose street urchins from Montmartre became a familiar face of wartime France. The title dates the scene to July 14, Bastille Day, the French national holiday, yet the poster pairs its festive air with a serious economic theme that reflects the strain of the war years. Its sponsorship by the Canada Food Board, a wartime agency that promoted food conservation, points to the broader effort to rally civilians behind the war effort.
