Additional Information
Produced circa 1918 by artist Guenther for the American Lithographic Company, this compelling World War I poster depicts a young woman tending her victory garden while a soldier's silhouette appears in the background, symbolizing the connection between home front and battlefield efforts.
The poster promoted the Woman's Land Army of America, which operated from 1917 to 1921, employing 15,000 to 20,000 women to address agricultural labor shortages. Modeled after Britain's successful program, these "farmerettes" were often college-educated urban women who replaced men conscripted into military service during the Great War.
The WLAA gained support from progressives including Theodore Roosevelt and aligned closely with the suffrage movement. This organization represented women's expanding wartime roles beyond traditional nursing and clerical work. The New York State Land Army Membership Committee copyrighted this artwork to recruit agricultural workers across the nation.
This striking poster serves as testament to American women's vital contributions during World War I, documenting their transformation from domestic roles to essential agricultural laborers. The artwork bridges military sacrifice with civilian mobilization, illustrating democracy's dependence on collective effort. An extraordinary addition to any collection celebrating women's wartime service and social progress.
