Description Triple Entente.jpg |
English:
Russian 1914 poster. The upper inscription reads "concord". Shown are the female personifications of France, Russia, and Britain, the "
Triple Entente
" allies in the first World War. In center, Russia holds aloft an Orthodox Cross (symbol of faith), Britannia on the right with an anchor (referring to Britain's navy, but also a traditional symbol of hope), and Marianne on the left with a heart (symbol of charity/love, probably with reference to the recently-completed
Sacré-Cœur Basilica
) -- "faith, hope, and charity" being the three virtues of the famous Biblical passage I Corinthians 13:13. In the background is a battle scene, with men fighting with guns and swords, some on horseback. Above them is an exploding shell, an early aeroplane, and an airship.
