What it is
A colour lithograph Edward Penfield drew for the Victory Girls of the United War Work Campaign in 1918, 70 by 56 cm.
Why it matters
The United War Work Campaign raised one fund for the YMCA, the YWCA and the other societies serving the troops, and the Victory Girls were its young women.
What to notice
A young woman rowing hard, her boat named Victory, in Penfield's clean outline and flat colour.
A girl at the oars, pulling the whole war home.
