Peace Bonds

In the lush and verdant foreground, a mother nurses her baby as her other daughter reads.  Behind them, workmen are furiously rebuilding in the aftermath of WW1.  Now that the war is over, the French can get back to what really matters -- caring for their families and restoring the country to its former glory.
