Austria-Hungary invaded Serbia at the outset of the First World War. Fighting raged throughout the campaign and Serbia suffered great losses. This image shows the country being rebuilt. An enormous sculptured head is being erected. The metal supports create strong diagonal lines across the image. The figures in the crowd wear vibrant, traditional Serbian costumes.

This work forms part of the portfolio ‘The Great War: Britain’s Efforts and Ideals’, a series of 66 lithographic prints commissioned by the Ministry of Information in 1917. The series provides a broad and fascinating representation of Britain’s war objectives, military activities and effort on the Home Front.
