Lot 280: E. KEALEY WOMEN OF BRITAIN SAY- "GO!". 1915.

29 1/4x19 1/2 inches. Hill, Sifken & Co., London.
Condition B+: repaired tear through top margin.
Framed within the window of their home, two women, one in black the other yellow, and a child in orange, watch as their men march of to war. "The double message of the text-directed simultaneously at women and by women at their men-manipulated the image of mother, wife and child within the home into a noble motivation for enlisting, but also assigned women the responsibility for ordering men into war." (Paret p. 52). Rawls p. 32, Rickards 40, Gallo p. 189.
