This scrapbook page blends the popular humor of the World War I home front with personal family photography. A printed cartoon pokes fun at a soldier's romantic prospects overseas, while a formal photograph shows a woman alongside a man in a US Army officer's uniform of the period, posed near an oil derrick. Such scrapbooks, assembled by families during the war, preserved both the lighter cultural ephemera of the era and cherished personal images side by side. Project: 218654
