Its French title, *Comment ils écrivent l'histoire*, translates as "How the soldiers write history," which gives this 1918 color lithograph a particular angle on the war. The poster pairs French military personnel with mothers and children, two groups the war touched in very different ways. It is signed V. Prouvé and dated 1918. The record lists the Canada Food Board as a sponsor, a reminder that wartime appeals for public support often crossed national lines.
