The title sets this poster apart: "Debout!" (Stand up!) calls the living to honor "nos morts pour la patrie," the nation's dead, and the subjects name a mother and children in Alsace at a cemetery. The poster is signed by L. Jonas, a French artist. Its Alsace setting carries particular weight, since Germany had annexed most of the province after the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, and French patriotic imagery kept that loss before the public. The record also lists the United States Fuel Administration as a funder or sponsor, which shows that Allied war imagery circulated beyond France.
