Bordeaux, a port city that had served as the seat of the French government for part of 1914, was a busy wartime hub by 1918, when American and other Allied forces passed through its docks and depots. This poster announces a Grand Festival des Alliés, a celebration of the Allied nations, with a Kermesse de l'Enfance, or children's fair, at its center. Wartime festivals like this one often raised money for children affected by the fighting, and the poster's appeal to the young shows how civilian life was organized around the war effort.
