Vintage France WW I Propaganda Postcard France vs. Germany Unused Excellent Condition. Even in the postage stamp each of the two nations represents itself as it sees itself, as it feels.
French Republic
Sowing France, dressed in lovely linen, in the great open gesture of sowing, sows the seeds of civilization to all the winds. An example of marvelous labor, she sows her fruitful savings, her prompt inventions, the patient discoveries of French genius: she sows with hope so that you too, peoples of the earth, may all reap and that one day without doubt, we reap the universal harvest together.
German Empire
Germany, with its hard face, is helmeted by a massive crown; a hand brought back in the selfish direction which is towards oneself; gauntleted with mail, this hand grips a handful of sword; that’s the threat. The chest is armored and these two rounded metal discs indicate what maternal breastfeeding would be for unborn humanity when it would have to seek it in this ironwork.
(Extract from a speech given by Paul-Ernest Hervieu, of the Académie Française). He was born Paul-Ernest Hervieu in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. Hervieu was born into a wealthy upper-middle-class family. He studied law, but sought also had contact with writers like Leconte de Lisle, Paul Verlaine and Alphonse Daudet. After graduating in 1877, he first practiced in a law firm, in 1879 qualified for the diplomatic service, and was posted in the French Embassy in Mexico. But he preferred to remain in France, where he attended fashionable literary salons, and the acquaintance of artists and writers such as Marcel Proust, Paul Bourget, Henri Meilhac, Ludovic Halévy, Guy de Maupassant and Edgar Degas. On the recommendation of his friend Octave Mirbeau, he tried his hand as a journalist. Wikipedia
