A striking example of Art Nouveau poster art.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEdward Penfield's 1918 poster, 'The Girl on the Land Serves the Nation's Need,' is a striking example of American propaganda art from the First World War era. Commissioned by the Y.W.C.A. Land Service Committee, it encourages women to join the agricultural workforce to support the war effort. The poster depicts four young women, dressed in practical, yet stylish, work attire, confidently leading a horse. One carries a rake, another a basket of produce, symbolising their contribution to the nation's food supply. Penfield's Art Nouveau style is evident in the clean lines, bold colours, and simplified forms. The composition is carefully balanced, drawing the viewer's eye from the women to the powerful message below. As a fine art print, this poster offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, celebrating the role of women in wartime. Its bold design and historical significance make it a compelling addition to any home, sparking conversation and adding a touch of vintage charm. The poster's message of national service and female empowerment remains relevant today, making it a timeless piece of art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/poisson-et-algues-papier-peint-pigeon-et-pavots-bordure-de-vitrail-maurice-pillard-verneuil\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePoisson et Algues, Papier Peint \/ Pigeon et Pavots, Bordure de Vitrail - Maurice Pillard Verneuil — Maurice Pillard Verneuil\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/fruit-alphonse-mucha\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFruit - Alphonse Mucha — Alphonse Mucha\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/collections\/edward-penfield\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMore by Edward Penfield →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edward Penfield","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991631475023,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991631540559,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991631573327,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991631671631,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991631704399,"sku":null,"price":290.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991631737167,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991631802703,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991631835471,"sku":null,"price":450.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991631868239,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":56991631901007,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991631966543,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":56991631999311,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":56991632064847,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":56991632097615,"sku":null,"price":730.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991632130383,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991632163151,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":56991632228687,"sku":null,"price":380.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/file_d6b9b930-95c7-48a9-91c8-6d79f1022c01.jpg?v=1770562925","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/products\/the-girl-on-the-land-serves-the-nations-need-edward-penfield","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
