Exhibition catalogue "The Great War: The Persuasive Power of Photography", présented at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa (27 june to 16 november 2014).
The official photographs reflect the planning, censorship and continuous need to generate public support for the cause.
In sharp contrast to the political and militaristic use of the medium was the undeniable importance of its personal use, seen in the popularity of studio portraits of soldiers and their family members, as well as personal albums composed prior to, during and after the war to create permanent records of lives that were at risk.
This exhibition brings together a diverse and remarkable selection of photographs drawn from national and international collections in an effort to illustrate the many important roles that photography played during the war.
