SUMMARY:Embattled Emblems: Posters and Flags of the First World War
LOCATION:130
DESCRIPTION:On the eve of World War I, President (and former Governor of New Jersey) Wo
odrow Wilson faced the difficult task of transforming the American people i
nto a pro-war populace willing to make supreme sacrifices for the country.
Replete with patriotic images and rhetoric, posters used the power of illus
tration art to raise money for the war effort and induce a changing America
n mindset towards war.\nWhereas posters formed a chief source of propaganda
on the home front, military flags served a similar purpose on the battlefr
ont. Once overseas, the American Expeditionary Force used the patriotic for
m of the flag – a crucial military tool for centuries – in order to instill
identity and pride in regiment, army, and country. The flag, therefore, co
nstituted another highly-visual, motivational device – a device that, like
printed posters, functioned to reinforce American commitment to the cause o
f war.\nThese “embattled emblems” represent two large bodies of material cu
lture held by the New Jersey State Museum. Timed to commemorate the 100th a
nniversary of the American intervention in World War I, this exhibition pre
sents a unique opportunity to showcase two lesser-known State Museum collec
tions rarely seen by the public.\nFor more information, visit http://www.st
