As the author shows, throughout the First World War (1914-1918), millions of postcards were produced by the governments of the countries involved in the conflict. They were illustrated with images that constructed a narrative whose aim was to encourage the continuation of the war effort, both at the front and in the rear, as evidenced here through a reflection that focuses on French postcards from the period. By contrasting the visual messages printed on the postcards with those handwritten by their senders, the work seeks to highlight different forms of expression and perceptions of the conflict, as employed by civilians and military personnel at different points in its development.

Comme le montre l'auteur, tout au long de la Première Guerre mondiale (1914-1918), des millions de cartes postales ont été produites par les gouvernements des pays impliqués dans le conflit. Elles sont illustrées d'images qui construisent un récit destiné à stimuler la poursuite de l'effort de guerre, tant au front qu'à l'arrière, comme le montre ici une réflexion centrée sur les cartes postales françaises de l'époque. En opposant les messages visuels imprimés sur les cartes postales à ceux écrits à la main par leurs expéditeurs, le travail cherche à mettre en évidence les différentes formes d'expression et de perception du conflit, telles qu'elles sont employées par les civils et les militaires à différents moments de son développement.

Come mostra l'autore, durante la Prima guerra mondiale (1914-1918), i governi dei paesi coinvolti nel conflitto produssero milioni di cartoline. Esse erano illustrate con immagini che costruivano una narrazione volta a stimolare la continuazione dello sforzo bellico, sia al fronte che nelle retrovie, come qui mostrato attraverso una riflessione che si concentra sulle cartoline francesi del periodo. Contrapponendo i messaggi visivi stampati sulle cartoline a quelli scritti a mano dai mittenti, il lavoro cerca di evidenziare le diverse forme di espressione e di percezione del conflitto, utilizzate da civili e militari in momenti diversi del suo svolgimento.

Wie der Autor zeigt, wurden während des Ersten Weltkriegs (1914-1918) Millionen von Postkarten von den Regierungen der am Konflikt beteiligten Länder produziert. Sie wurden mit Bildern illustriert, die die Fortsetzung der Kriegsanstrengungen sowohl an der Front als auch im Hinterland anregen sollten, wie hier anhand einer Betrachtung französischer Postkarten aus dieser Zeit gezeigt wird. Durch die Gegenüberstellung der auf den Postkarten gedruckten und der von den Absendern handschriftlich verfassten Botschaften sollen unterschiedliche Ausdrucksformen und Wahrnehmungen des Konflikts hervorgehoben werden, wie sie von Zivilisten und Militärangehörigen zu verschiedenen Zeitpunkten seiner Entwicklung verwendet wurden.

The work analyzes postcards produced in France in the context of the Great War, or World War I (1914-1918), which are discussed as iconographic representations of events associated with the conflict. It shows that these small souvenirs communicated verbal and non-verbal messages, not only with the aim of disseminating and/or reaffirming certain elements of the collective imaginary relating to the war and the combatants, but also with the aim of contributing to its construction and perpetuation.

The study analyses the representations of opera singer Lina Cavalieri (1874-1944) conveyed through photographic postcards produced in France and Germany during the Belle Époque, in contrast to her career on stage. It can be seen that her portraits highlight the stereotypes of female fragility and dependence in force at the time, even though they were produced during a career that denied them in certain respects. Paradoxically, however, they also establish a dialogue with trends in favour of a new sexual ethic and the expansion of spaces for female performance and affirmation on the public stage.

The book aims to present suggestions on the work in the classroom through the use of images, with a view to teaching history and with emphasis on the discussions concerning the First World War (1914-1918), or the Great War, as it was called in the period.For this purpose, a set of documents composed of French and German postcards from that period is discussed, in order to provide elements to help teachers in the discussion of the theme.
