For the Daughters of Soldiers Killed on the Field of Honor, plate thirteen from Actualités 1915

"For the Daughters of Soldiers Killed on the Field of Honor," created in 1915 by Théophile Alexandre Steinlen, is a poignant depiction of the human cost of war. The lithograph depicts a group of women and children huddled together, likely widows and orphans, as they face a bleak future. The somber mood is emphasized by Steinlen's use of charcoal, which creates a sense of depth and sorrow. This work, part of the "Actualités" series, reflects the realities of life during World War I and serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of conflict.
